On June 6 of that year in Toronto, he married as a 25-year old clergyman living on St. Joseph Island, Ontario, with Georgiana Sarah Louise Hughes from England (1876–1913), with whom he had three children.[3] After a curacy on St. Joseph Island, he held incumbencies at Burk's Falls (1902), Port Colborne (1903), Fort Erie (1906), Guelph, Parkdale, and finally Dundas, where he remained rector of the St. James’ Anglican Church until his retirement.[6] During World War I, he was a Chaplain to the Canadian Armed Forces.[2] He was Archdeacon of the counties of Wellington and Halton, and from 1922 until 1950 Archdeacon of Wentworth and Haldimand counties.[1][7] He died at the age of 84 on May 27, 1961, and is buried in Dundas.[8]
