Note 1
Owing to impaired health, in 1848 he accepted the appointment as government Blacksmith to the grand Portage Indians on the North Shore of Lake Superior, (the services being light,) which position he retained for six years, when he removed with his family to this place, and was soon after appointed blacksmith for the Red Cliff band of Chippewas. In 1864 he was transferred to the Bad River Reservation, where he remained until the fall of 1867, when he removed back to Bayfield, resuming his former position, which he retained until his death.
During his residence here he has filled the position of both Deputy Sheriff and Sheriff of Bayfield county with much credit, and has at all times taken a lively interest in the welfare of the place.
Note 2
It is thought that an injury received in his right side, while shoeing a horse in 1867-8, was the prime cause of his death, as from that time he often complained of severe pain in that locality.
