He was for some time President of the Master Printers Association. He married Kate Young Cooke ( – 30 November 1931) on 20 August 1877.

He was a founder of South Australian Literary Societies' Union, serving as Secretary and President at various times, and as Speaker of its Union Parliament.

He represented the South Australian House of Assembly multi-member seat of Sturt from April 1921 to April 1924 for the Liberal Union and the Liberal Federation.

He died near the City Bridge, King William Road, after stepping in front of a tramcar moving at 20 to 25 mph.

Charles Henry Hussey, member of the House of Assembly, and pastor Henry Hussey were his uncles.
