Solon was a policeman in Boardman and Whiteville, and Chief of Police in Fairmont, NC.
"An efficient and capable officer, he is very popular in the town and universally liked." - Fairmont Messenger, August 13, 1914
As a young man, he was a member of Pleasant Hill Baptist Church. In April 1892 he asked for a letter of dismission to join another church.
As a boy, Robert Stanley remembers him as a giant of a man with huge feet. The saying was that his feet were a foot and a half long. Solon's grandson, Lew Stanley, owns a walking cane that Solon hand carved animals on. He was also a mason.
