He was born in Cranberry township, Butler County, PA. He was educated in the public schools of his district and was reared a farmer. In 1862 he enlisted in Company C, One Hundred and Thirty-fourth Pennsylvania Volunteers, under the command of Capt. Cyrus E. Anderson. His company was mustered into the service at Harrisburg, was attached to the Army of the Potomac, and participated in the engagements at Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, etc. He followed his regiment through the varying vicissitudes of war, and at the expiration of his term of enlistment he returned to his home in Butler county. In 1865 he married and began his married life on a rented farm in Cranberry township, which he subsequently purchased. He was a successful farmer, and for more than twenty years also conducted a mercantile business at Ogle, and served multiple terms as postmaster of that office. He was a Republican, took an active part in the political affairs of his township and county, and served in the various township offices with credit to himself and satisfaction to the people.
