He traveled for the American Tobacco Co. for a number of years and was a professional bicycle racer and ball player, playing with the Danville and Norfolk Clubs and other towns in the Virginia League.
After his ball playing career, he was bartender in Frederick until 1902, when he came to this city and was bartender at the Hotel Hamilton for a number of years.
Two years ago he was compelled to submit to an operation for the amputation of one of his legs from gangrene, which it is thought had much to do with his death, as he never fully recovered from the operation.
He was a member of the Catholic Church.
A brother and sister survive.
His remains were removed to the Suter undertaking establishment and (will be sent to Baltimore for interment).
