He was reared on the home farm in Somerset Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania. He enlisted in Co. G, 140th Pa. Vol. Inf., and served three years of the Civil War in the Army of the Potomac. He was wounded at the battle of Gettysburg, receiving three gunshot wounds, one slight and two serious, and was in the Philadelphia Hospital for about eight months before again fit for duty. He was then transferred from Co. G, to the 3rd Vet. Res., of which he was an officer, and was discharged at Augusta, Maine, in September, 1865. He was a member of W. F. Templeton Post, G. A. R. After his military service was over, he returned home and resumed farming and stock raising in Somerset Township, continuing until 1868, when he purchased the Lowland Stock Farm, in Amwell Township, to which he moved and carried on farming and stock raising there until 1908, when he sold out and retired to Washington. He was an extensive raiser of all kinds of stock and in later years he made a specialty of registered Shorthorn cattle, in which he met with much success.
He and his wife were members of the First Presbyterian Church of Washington.
