Then, returning to Washington, he served three years as clerk in the county treasurer's office. In 1887 he became interested in the oil business, and then about 1903 he became engaged in the gas business, being one of the incorporators of the Greensboro Gas Company, a Pennsylvania corporation supplying natural gas throughout the several counties of western Pennsylvania.
