Chartiers Twp, Washington Co, PA
He was reared on the home farm, and received his education in the district schools of the county. For a while, he taught school in Washington County, and studied under private teachers, but his life work was agri-culture. Politically, he was an active Republican, and has held various offices of trust in Chartiers township. He was in the convention that opposed "Know-Nothingism" in the county.
He was reared on the home farm and obtained his education partly in the public schools and partly under private teachers. During a portion of his early manhood he taught school, but the greater part of his active life was given to agricultural pursuits. He owned a highly cultivated farm of 125 acres, on which he erected substantial buildings. He sold the coal under his land for $200 per acre and also had gas developed on his farm.
