His farming career commenced on the Canning, where he brought up a family of 10 children of whom 2 sons & 2 daughters are still living in the district, & he remained there till the time of his death @ the age of 80 yrs & 10 months.

The cortege moved from his late residence, Canning, & proceeded to the junction of Albany & Nicholson Roads, where it was met by a very large circle of friends from Cannington, Fremantle & elsewhere. The precession then proceeded to the Anglican cemetery, Cannington, where the remains were interred in the family grave.
