While holding this office for only the second year he was snatched away by sudden and premature death. From his native Britain where his worthy and well-born parents had educated the boy in the village of Westoe and Doctor Arnold Mustius had instructed his youth in the town of Rugby the young man betook himself to Michigan. Having been ordained a priest or the Protestant Episcopal Church he dedicated to God a house built at his own expense on Grosse Isle.
