He was reared in Jefferson County, Pennsylvania, and re-ceived a common-school education, in early life assisting his father in farming and lumbering. He participated in the Civil war, enlisting from Barnett town-ship, Jefferson County, and was assigned to Company B, One Hundred and Thirty-fifth Pennsylvania Volunteers; was in the battle of Chancellorsville, and was honorably discharged after nine months' service. After his return home, in 1863, he engaged in business as a lumberman and contractor in Barnett township, Jefferson County, until 1867. He then moved to Tionesta, Forest County, where he followed the business of a contractor until 1873, when he em-barked in the hotel business, in which he was engaged until 1884, in which year he was elected sheriff of Forest County for a term of three years. On the expiration of his term, he again engaged in the hotel business in Tionesta until April 1, 1889, and April 10, following, became proprietor of the Ludlow House, at Warren.
