In later years he became a marine painter, for which he became widely known. In his obituary (The Dedham Transcript, April 12, 1924) it was noted that he was a very quiet and unassuming individual, and highly respected in Dedham. He lived at 410 Washington Street, Dedham, with his sister Mary L. Talbot, who died two days after him. He is buried in the Village Cemetery in Dedham.The Dedham Historical Society has a substantial number of his works, many of which were acquired during the year of his death.
