He attended the township schools until prepared for college and then entered Washington and Jefferson College, where he was graduated in the class of 1900. For about two years after leaving school he followed surveying, and then began to teach and for some years followed that profession, a part of the time in his alma mater, and for one year was principal of the Cross Creek Academy. During these years he read law by himself and then entered the office of Attorney J. M.
