In the 1850 census he was listed as an iron founder, in 1860 as a manufacturer and in 1870, 67 years old and retired. As his business grew he purchased the business of R. & E. Johnson. In 1855 the company two won awards from the Middlesex Co. Agricultural Society for a turning lathe and iron land roller.

This building also housed Nelson & Hubbard. I have no examples of his work. Sometime before 1869 the business was succeeded by N.C. Stiles.

     His residence at 1015 Randolph Road. Built in 1854. On a recent visit to Middletown I talked with the owner about her house. She was familiar with history of the house and it is in excellent condition.
