He attended the common schools of his native county, and at the age of seventeen, September 7, 1861, enlisted in the One Hundred and First Pennsylvania Volunteers and served three years. At the expiration of his term of enlistment he re-enlisted and served until the close of the war. He participated in the battles of Williamsburg, Seven Pines, Fair Oaks, Seven Days' fight, Malvern Hill, Black Water, Kingston, White Hall, Goldsboro, Foster Mills, Wilmington and Plymouth, North Carolina, where he was taken prisoner and sent to Charleston, and thence to Andersonville. At the time of his entrance into Andersonville it contained only four hundred prisoners, but ere he left it there were thirty-six thousand within its picket line. He was sent from there to Florence, South Carolina, where he remained until the close of the war. He was paroled at Charleston, South Carolina, and mustered out at Annapolis, Maryland. Returning to his home, he soon afterward entered Iron City College, Pittsburgh, where he graduated. He then engaged in the oil business, spending several years in Butler and Venango counties, and from 1869 to 1872 followed contracting in New Castle, Pennsylvania. He subsequently engaged in the oil business in Butler County, and in 1876 moved to Venango County and entered the employ of Phillips Brothers at Bullion, with whom he remained four years. In 1883 he purchased the Alshouse well No. 23, and Shirley No. 112, and then drilled another, all of which were producing. [HVC 1890, 1003]
