He served in Company C. One Hundred and Thirty-ninth Pennsylvania Volunteers, during the Civil war, and was severely wounded in the battle of the Wilderness, May 5, 1864.
He was a resident of Pittsburgh for twenty-five years, and his life was varied in occupation, as teacher and principal clerk, bank teller and bank cashier eleven years, traveling salesman, bookkeeper and office manager for many different firms of the city, and superintendent of indexing for the Guarantee Title and Trust Company. He was never an active party politician, never holding public office except school director nine years. He always opposed the spread of the liquor traffic.
