He also held a number of leadership positions throughout the town, such as secretary of the State Fireman’s Association, editor of the Lotus Literary and Debating Society, chairman of the Halloween association, and President of the Bristol Public School Board. Doron was also a parishioner of the local Bristol Methodist Church, having undergone Sunday school, becoming a member of the Methodist Brotherhood, and serving as the Church’s music director.
