He served for four months that year as editor of the Salem Statesman, until his father was compelled to sell the newspaper. [4] He worked as an attorney for several years. He published poems and short stories in regional periodicals. He died in June 1899.[3] His works were posthumously collected in a volume titled The Gold-Gated West: Songs and Poems, published in 1910.[1]
