At fourteen years of age he was sent to school at Greensburg, Pennsylvania, and subsequently to Mt. Pleasant, and when seventeen entered Allegheny College, where he graduated in 1856. He spent several years in teaching, spending a year in Kentucky and two years in Michigan. Afterward he read medicine at Meadville, Pennsylvania, in the office of Dr. J. C. Cotton, and graduated from the Medical Department of the University of Michigan in 1864. The summer of the same year he spent in the United States General Hospital, at Point Lookout, and in the autumn returned to Meadville and resumed the practice of medicine with Dr. Cotton. In the summer of 1865 he removed to Cochranton, a village ten miles from Meadville on the Franklin branch of the New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio Railroad; there he resided, diligently and laboriously engaged in the practice of his profession.
He gave considerable time and attention to educational matters, having been on the Board of Education at Cochranton for fifteen years and for several years a member of the Board of Control of Allegheny College. He wrote extensively for the press, local and professional, and occasionally took a hand in the political discussions of the day. In church relations, a Methodist; in social organizations, a Knight Templar; he belonged also to several benevolent societies in the town where he lived. In politics he was a quiet but somewhat determined adherent to the Democratic party.
