Fleming also opened a book and stationery store with Alexander Elmslie. In 1851, Fleming married Mary Moir. He was president of the Gore District Fire Insurance and also served as town councillor and reeve for Galt. He was warden for Waterloo County in 1869. Fleming died in office in 1877 after suffering a stroke a few days earlier.
