In 1831 he became pastor at Oxford, Ohio, and two years later Western agent of the American Missionary Society; in 1838 pastor at Madison, Indiana, a position which he occupied for ten years. The rest of his life was devoted to home missionary work in the Presbyterian Church. He died at Madison, February 25, 1882.
