Most of his life was given to the cause of education. At 15 years of age he taught his first school “in the wilds of Forest County, PA”, at 21 he was principal of the Sandy Lake, Mercer County, schools, and at 24 he was superintendent of the schools of the county, at which time he was said to be the youngest man holding such a position in the entire Union. He thereafter served as President of Volant College, principal of the Irwin High School and Superintendent of the City Schools of Sistersville, WV. He is now editor of “The Cleveland Post,” published at Cleveland, Ohio.
