He was educated in the common school of Mordecai Hoge, in Somerset town­ship, Washington County, PA, then attended the acad­emy of Hon. John C. Messenger, at Hoge's Summit. In 1859 he entered Jefferson College, Canonsburg, graduating therefrom August 7, 1862. On August 13, same year, he enlisted in Company G, One Hun­dred and Fortieth Pennsylvania Volunteers, Capt. John Fraser, professor of mathematics in Jeffer­son College. He served until the close of the war, having participated in the battles of Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Wilderness, Spottsylvania and Cold Harbor, and was present at the surrender of Gen. Lee to Gen. Grant. His credentials from his company, regimental, divisional and corps commanders-Capt. Bingham, Brevet Brig.-Gen. Fraser, Gen. John C. Caldwell, Divis­ion Commander and Maj.-Gen. W. S. Hancock-all testify to his faithful service and bravery as a soldier. At the close of the war he received an appointment in the Interior Department, Land Office Bureau, at Washington, where he remained four years. He read medicine with Dr. Johnson Eliott, of Washington, D. C., attended medical lectures at Georgetown College, Washington, D. C., and graduated in 1869. He first be­gan the practice of his profession in Fayette City, Fayette County, PA, and in 1874 removed to Monongahela, where he was actively and success­fully engaged in the practice of medicine.
