Always an ardent Republican, he was the recognized leader of the party in Cohoes and probably the best known and most popular man in the city. His genial, friendly nature drew men to him, and his loyalty to his friends was proverbial. Outside his private business, he was interested in many of the other industries and companies of Cohoes.

She is an active member of Dutch Reformed church of Cohoes, and for many years taught in the Sunday school. Her business capacity is of the highest order and under her management the enterprise committed to her care has grown and prospered.
