Returning from the army he located in 1866 at Leechburg, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, for the practice of his profession, but only remained one year and then went to Blairsville, where he was surgeon for the Pennsylvania railroad, besides enjoying a large practice for over fifteen years. In 1884 he removed to Latrobe and practiced successfully for some years. Besides his large general practice he gave special attention to the eye, ear and nose, throat and the treatment of catarrh and in those specialties built up a fine practice.
