In 1873, the Weekly Clarion reported on his candidacy describing him as a colored "carpetbagger" and accused him of abandoning his wife and four children when he moved to Mississippi to seek office.[4] However, on his army discharge papers he was listed as widowed and his next of kin was listed as a daughter named Nora Brown.[3] He took the oath of office January 21, 1874.[5]
During his time in the house he was a member of several committees including Public Education, Federal Relations, Railroads, and Public Works.[1] He was a member of The Republican Fifth Congressional Executive Committee in 1875.[6]
He was buried at the Forest Hill cemetery in Piqua, Ohio.[2]
