He came to Nevada in 1878, and was engaged in merchandising for thirteen years in Candelaria, Nevada. His fitness for office and his activity in political circles led to his selection for positions of public trust. He has always been a firm adherent of Democratic principles, and as the candidate of the silver party was elected sheriff of Esmeralda county. Faithfully has he served his fellow townsmen as the protector of the rights and liberties of the people, and they have given evidence of their appreciation of his trustworthiness and capability by electing him five times to the office, so that he is now serving in his fifth term, and at the last election he received a majority of fifty over two opposing candidates, showing that both as sheriff and assessor of the county he has discharged his duties in a manner to win the fullest confidence and approval of the public. He is prompt and energetic in the discharge of his official duties, and is possessed of excellent good sense and sound judgment in performing the ofttimes delicate and hazardous duties of his position.["History of the State of Nevada" by Wren] (Bennett Collection) Date: 1906-1915 Location: Goldfield, Nevada HWAC# 59875
