He was treasurer of the city of Meadville, Pennsylvania, for two terms and for a number of years was engaged in business there.

Mr. Porter's period of education extended through the junior class of Allegheny College, Meadville, from which he went to Philadelphia and was graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1892.
Mr. Porter was greatly interested in music, being secretary and manager of the Pittsburgh Male Chorus for ten years.
