He was educated in the public schools, and was a life-long resident of the town that saw his birth. In early life he began lumbering with his father, later becoming his partner in the Lottsville saw mill and lumber business, continuing six years. He then engaged in the same business alone, owning a portable saw mill and converting the logs to lumber at the tract being worked. Later he again associated with his father, continuing until the death of the latter. In 1908 he erected a grist mill in Lottsville, the largest in the section. He also continued his lumbering operations in connection with his grain milling. He owned a small farm of forty-three acres, part purchased from his father and part from Mrs. Morrison Smith, formerly a part of the Judge Lott farm; there he erected a dwelling in 1897. He was an active member of the Methodist Episcopal church, serving as trustee and also a worker in the Sunday school. He was a charter member of Lottsville Lodge, No. 631, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, passed all the chairs, represented his lodge at a session of the Grand Lodge in Altoona, Pennsylvania, also was chosen and served as district deputy.
