In 1877 he was appointed second master at the King Edward VI School at Stratford-upon-Avon, and from 1879 to 1882 he was master of Ulverston school. He was curate of Satterthwaite, Lancashire from 1881 to 1883, and of Lower Slaughter, Gloucestershire, from 1883 to 1885. He died, after suffering from mental illness for several years, in 1894.[1]
