He was born in Concord township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, and was reared on his father's farm, receiving his education in the neigh­borhood subscription school. He learned the carpenter's trade, and located at West Sunbury in 1849. He worked at his trade in connection with wagon-mak­ing down to 1875, when he embarked in the furniture and undertaking business. Mr. Mechling was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, and a trustee, class leader and Sabbath school superintendent until 1892, when he joined the United Presbyterian church. In politics, he was an ardent Prohibitionist, filled the offices of school director, overseer of the poor, etc., and was a burgess of West Sunbury.
