He had the advantages of the public schools of Blacklick township, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, and later attended the academy at Jacksonville. He began working on the farm with his father when a boy and continued there with him until his death, that year, 1890, selling the place and moving to Jacksonville. For a number of years thereafter he was engaged in the undertaking and livery business, which he carried on until 1907, in which year he sold out and turned his attention to merchandising, buying the interests of Simon Anthony. He then gave his attention principally to his general store, though he also took a considerable part in public affairs in the borough. He was school director of Jacksonville for twelve years; was constable of the borough twelve years; a member of the council six years; and served as street commissioner. On political issues he was a Democrat. He was a member of the United Presbyterian Church, which he served as trustee.
