father's farm until twenty-four years of age. Then, after working at the 
carpenter's trade for two years, he started a restaurant in Little Falls in 
1875, and in 1877 he went into the Hotel Rockton, which he purchased and ran 
for eight years, and which property he still owns. While in the hotel Mr.
