He has always believed in early to bed and early to rise as the best i prescription for health and up to the time of his sickness carried out the principles so long ago established of doing plenty of hard work. Even while president of the large firearms com- pany he always spent part of the day at the bench in the shop with the other workmen. This he continued until the factory burned in February, 1900. He had a thorough knowledge of the firearms business, gained through his long connection with that indus- try, while his interest in mechanics re- sulted in the production of a number of new models of guns as well as other devices.
