He attended the common schools of Washington, Pennsylvania, and Washington College, and when yet a boy commenced clerking in William Duvall's grocery store. In 1854 he embarked in business for himself and remained in that location for seventeen years. He was a year out of business, and in 1886 he erected a three-story building, equipped with all modern improvements, including an elevator, and there, under the firm of Joseph M. Spriggs & Sons, he engaged in a large and increasing business, comprising general grocery, hardware, feed, etc., the largest of the kind in Washington. In May, 1891, he commenced a grain elevator business in the city, which was in the charge of his son, Charles H.
