After graduating from Hartford Theological Seminary in 1871, he initially led a Congregational Church in Boise, Idaho, before relocating to the Skokomish Reservation. There, he served the local Native American community and White settlers, reflecting his commitment to fostering relationships and understanding between diverse cultures. His life and work are a testament to the challenges and impacts of missionary efforts in the Northwest during the late 19th century.
