He grew up on the farm, receiving his education in the public schools of his native county. At the age of eighteen he entered the oil fields of Pennsylvania, serving first as tool-dresser and later working at drilling rigs. In 1897 he left the oil fields and went into the contracting and drilling business, having holdings of his own about Sharpsburg, Pennsylvania, to which he also gave his attention. He was affiliated with Lodge No. 448, F. and A. M., of Sharpsburg, and Lodge No. 932, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, of Etna. He was a Democrat and a member of the Methodist Episcopal church.
