He received his primary education in the com­mon schools, and afterwards attended West Sunbury Academy, Prospect Acad­emy, and Witherspoon Institute, and taught in the public schools of Butler County, PA, for several years. In 1864 he enlisted in Company A, Two Hundred and Twelfth Pennsylvania Volunteers, and served until the close of the war. In 1865 he went into the oil fields of Venango County, and subsequently operated in But­ler, Armstrong and McKean counties. From 1873 to 1878 he was engaged in oil producing at Greece City, and in Concord township, and in 1882 he located in Butler. Besides oil production he was also engaged in farming the old McCandless homestead, which he owned. He was secretary of the Soldiers' Monument Society, and took an active interest in the erection of the monument in Butler. He was a member of A. G. Reed Post, G. A. R., and also of Butler Lodge, Num­ber 272, F. & A. M. He always took a deep interest in the progress of edu­cation, and served as a school director for several years. He was a life­long member of the Presbyterian church, and in politics, was a stanch Republican. He erected many of the private dwellings in the bor­ough, was one of the successful oil producers of Butler County, and was a stockholder, director, and treasurer of the Citizens Gas Company, of which he was one of the incorporators.
