He was a representative in the Connecticut General Assembly from the town of Trumbull (where his residence continued) in 1889, and frequently represented the parish of which he was a vestryman in the annual convention of the Episcopal diocese. He was interested in historical research, and served as an officer of the Fairfield County Historical Society from the time of its organization After an illness of six months, which had not, however, prevented him from continuing at work, he died at his home in Trumbull, from meningitis of the brain, on September 12, 1891, at the age of 38.
