In the fall of 1872 he was elected school commissioner of the second district of the county, and served in that capacity three years, continuing his law studies in the meantime. In 1876 he was admitted to the bar, and was for three years with the firm of McCartin & Williams, as assistant. He then became a partner of the late Charles A. Sherman, which association continued until the death of Mr. Sherman. In the fall of 1881 he was elected city recorder, and served the four succeeding years. He has also served the city for two years as attorney, and has been a member of the school board for several years.
