The next four years he spent at St. Stephen's Church in Beverly, New Hampshire.

Following this service, he spent three years at St. Matthias Church in Philadelphia.

He was an active Mason and was Captain of the grand Lodge at the time of his death. The Boston Directory of 1880 is the earliest to include him and lists him as "Rev.," living at 171 Brooks Street, East Boston.

He was an auditor of the church books in Mar 1885 in Headford. In 1887 he was one of the trustees and is mentioned several times in the secretary's minutes until 1892. He paid pew rent for other families and bought dishes, hymn books etc. for the church. In 1892, he moved to 783 Gerrard Street East in Toronto. About this time, his farm was mortgaged and lost.
