He was educated in the log-cabin schools of the primitive days, and brought up on a farm.
He was Township Assessor, Auditor, Supervisor, School Director and filled other offices; in politics he was a Republican. He and his wife were members of the Baptist Church, in which he was a Deacon. During the Rebellion he enlisted in Company G, Fifty-sixth Pennsylvania Volunteer Militia, and served till the close of the war. He was owner of 100 acres of well-improved land with good water and other essentials, of which little fortune he was the artificer, besides some $4,000 which he gave to his children.
He and his wife had three children; only one was still living in 1885.
