He was a carpenter/contractor for most of his life, building several houses in Bethlehem and later going to Alaska in the Klondike gold rush, not to pan for gold, but to build dwellings, sluice ways and other buildings. He always signed his name as E. P. Bishop which gave rise to the family’s referring to him as E Pluribus Bishop.
