He taught school for many years in the County and elected County Superintendant of Education in 1903, a position he held for most of his life. During his long term in offiice he was most instrumental in solidifying and systematizing the work in the school system. He was always a loyal Democrat and devoted member of the Methodist church. In 1889 he married Miss Lou Toombs, the daughter of a leading contractor and builder of Senatobia, who was responsible for many of the early homes in Senatobia.
