He came to America with the family in 1853, and lived first with his brother, William C., at Pennsville, Fayette County, Pennsylvania. At the age of fourteen years he began earning his own living as a salesman in Pittsburgh, and later learned the trade of sign painting and graining. In 1857 he made a trip down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers on a steamboat, as clerk, on his return becoming assistant postmaster at Brownsville, Pennsylvania; he was also engaged as bookkeeper and salesman in Pennsville and Mt. Pleasant, Pennsylvania. In July, 1863, he enlisted as corporal in Company G, Fifty-fourth Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteer Militia, an organization formed to defend the state from invasion. He was honorably discharged August 17, 1863, the danger from invasion having passed. In 1872 he engaged in the undertaking and furniture business with Norman B. Critchfield, at Mt. Pleasant. Owing to the commercial depression of 1875 he sold out and removed to Altoona, Pennsylvania, entering the service of the Pennsylvania railroad as clerk. In 1891 he was appointed maintenance-of-way clerk of the middle division, and was transferred to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. About ten years later he returned to Altoona, where he died, having been in the service of the Pennsylvania railroad for thirty-three years.
