At the age of sixteen he commenced learning the carpenter's trade, and in 1848 he located in Cherry township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, where he established himself in business, and was one of the leading carpenters and builders of that locality for thirty years. He also performed the duties of a millwright, and continued to work at his trade in connection with farming. In 1851 he purchased and settled on a farm of 160 acres, which he improved and cultivated. In politics, he was a Republican, filled the office of school director, and was collector and assessor of his township. He was a member of the United Presbyterian church, of West Sunbury. In 1864 he enlisted in Company A, Sixth Pennsylvania Artillery, and served until the close of the war. He and Edwin G. Sproul built the grist mill at Anandale, which was operated under the firm name of Hugh Sproul & Company.
