He grew to manhood on the home farm and was educated in the public schools of Allegheny Township, Butler County, PA, and West Sunbury Academy, and for a short time taught school. On September 20, 1864, he was drafted for military service and was assigned to Company F, Fiftieth Regiment, Pennsylvania Infantry, which was attached to the Army of the Potomac, and under the command of General Grant fought in the siege of Petersburg and in that and all the subsequent movements of his regiment, he did his full soldierly duty, receiving his honorable dis­charge on June 3, 1865. He then returned to Allegheny Township and resumed his usual avocations. He took a very active interest in Grand Army affairs and twice was honored by being elected com­mander of the local post. In politics he was a Republican. He was a member of the Scrub Grass Presbyterian Church, in Venango County, of which he was an elder and was also a member of the Session. [HBC 1909, 783]
