In May 1853 he co-founded the Machias Union newspaper. He sold out his interest in the paper in 1859 and bought the Machias Republican established by Stacy Fowler.[5] He continued with it until his retirement when William B. Nash took over in 1900.[6][5][7]
The Union was a Democratic Party paper published in Machias on Tuesdays and the Republican Party affiliated Republican was printed on Saturdays.[8]
In 1885, he became a member of the Maine Press Association.[9]
