In 1835 the family removed to Charlottetown. After a careful education he entered, in 184.8, the land office of Messrs. Samuel and Edward Cunard, who at that time owned about two hundred and twenty thousand acres in the Island. In March, 1853, he became Land Surveyor of the Cunard Estates. On February 13, 1854, he received from the Surveyor— General a certificate of competency as a Land Surveyor, and was shortly afterwards sworn in as such. In 1859 he joined the Volunteer Militia and became a member of the “ Prince of Wales Company,” which, with a company of the 62d Regiment of Her Majesty’s Troops, formed the Prince’s Guard of Honor, on his arrival in the Island, August 9, 1860. On the following day, at the Levee, Government House, he was presented to His Royal Highness. Having considerable business of his own to attend to, he resigned the position which he had held in Messrs. Cunard’s Estate Oflice since October, 184.8, and removed to his own office May 27, 1863. (The Cunard Estates were sold to the Government in 1866.)

Having continued in the Volunteer Militia Service, he received, March 26, 1867, from the Commander—in-Chief of the Province, his commission as Captain in the First Queens County Regiment of Militia. From 1871 to 1874 he was largely occupied with the survey of the Prince Edward Island (Government) Railway, and in drawing plans, preliminary to the val- uation of the land damages. From May, 1872, to July, 1886, he was Chief Observer at Charlottetown (a reporting telegraph and storm-signal station) in connection with the Meteor— ological Service of the Dominion of Canada. In the years 1875 and 1876, he was employed in conducting cases before the Commissioners appointed under the “Land Purchase Act, . 1875,” to value and purchase the lands of all proprietors holding more than five hundred acres in the Island, and in obtaining the amount of the awards from the Provincial Treasurer. About 1877, an offer of the Commissionership of Public Lands was made to him; this he did not accept. On May 22, 1890, he was appointed, by the Administrator of the Government in Council, a member of the Board of Examiners of Candidates for admission to practise as Land Surveyors for the Province. In March, 1893, he was elected President of the “ Tele— phone Company of Prince Edward Island,” and was re-elected in March, 1894. He has sat upon many important arbitrations, in the interests of both Government and individuals.
