A family story recounts that he sometimes carried a silver pistol (pro tection for traveling rural roads) and once was called upon to defend hims elf and his wife from highway robbers. In his earlier years he had own ed a Ford Model T (2 door, early model) a Hanes Touring Car, next a Maxwel l, a Chevrolet, a Ford Panel Truck (which was used for the Denville Cent er Meat Market) a Ford 2 door sedan (doors were centered between the fro nt and rear seats) another 2 door Ford (1924) a Whippett, a small 4 door N ash and next a large 4 door Nash. He was trained as a butcher and continu ed in that trade for many years and at various locations, including the fo llowing in the state of New Jersey; Franklin Furnace, Dover, Rockaway, Mou nt Hope, Kenvil, Newton, Denville and Ogdensburg. He also worked as a butc her in Warwick and Port Jervis in New York State and for a very short ti me in Mill Rift PA. He was a life-long Democrat. He was not a believer ( as was many persons of his era) in the celebration of birthdays, and Chris tmas was not an occasion for the giving of gifts but was a religious (which he was not) holiday only. In the later years of his li fe, after moving to Kennedy, New York he was employed in furniture manufac turing, which trade he often stated was preferable to butchering.
