He married secondly Janet Hughes at Harvington in 1906 (see Mona Cottage), for further details of the Hughes Family. From the obituary below, he lived for a while on Cress Hill. Presumably this was between his marriage in 1903 and the time when he took over the running of the Coach & Horses in 1905, when he became its licensee, a position he held until 1934. It is from the Coach and Horses that he carried on his business as undertaker and carpenter. In 1934 he had built and moved to Croftland on the corner of Anchor Lane, opposite to Candle Cottage. During much of the time he was undertaker, he was in possession of the village bier. There is a separate article to cover its story. He also made his own coffins. He stored the wood for the coffins in the old Hop kiln. His undertakers table still survives as a table in the Coach & Horses (2013). When he died, his stipulation was that he should be laid out on his old table and his coffin taken to the church on the old bier. His wife died in 1959 aged 73, he died in 1966 aged 84 after living for some time at The Drift Nursing Home in Evesham.
