He was born in New Bethlehem, Clarion County, Pennsylvania, where he spent his early life and received a public school education. When a youth he entered the employ of the C. E.

In 1889 he made his home at South Bethlehem, where he took an active part in public matters, serving two terms as burgess. He was a prominent member of the Knights of the Maccabees, being one of the supreme representatives of the world in that order, and also belonged to the Sons of Veterans. In political matters he was a Democrat. He held membership in the M. E. Church.
