He entered the theological seminary at Allegheny City, Pennsylvania, in 1867, and graduated at that institution in 1870. He was licensed to preach in 1869, by the Pittsburgh Presbytery. After graduating in his theological course, in 1870, he spent one year in teaching and as supply preacher, in Indiana County, Pennsylvania.

On his return to America he was ordained, and accepted a charge at Middle Spring, Cumberland County, where he remained for more than fourteen years. He was a thorough scholar and an accomplished gentleman, and his efforts in his profession were attended with marked success in winning souls to his Master and gathering in his church and Sabbath-school many individuals and families. He wrote a very authentic history of the Presbyterian Church at Middle Spring, which was one of the first established in the Cumberland Valley. [HCC 1886, 548]
