He held the latter position until January, 1907, when by reason of falling health he tendered his resignation. This resignation was not received, but was held until January,1908, during which his salary continued.

It was would hoped that a year of out-of-door life would restore his health: but as this not the case he insisted that his resignation should be made effective.

He was recognized by all who came in contact with him as a careful, conscientious. painstaking and gentlemanly official, quiet and thorough in his methods, and never wounding the feelings said of any that one.
