He was reared in his native town and in Beaver, Pennsylvania, and was principally educated in the Beaver Academy, also spending one year in Westminster College. In August, 1861, he enlisted in Company B, One Hundredth Pennsylvania Volunteers, and served three years, participating in the principal battles and campaigns of his regiment. In August, 1864, he was mustered out of service and for six months was in the government employ at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He then went into the drug business at New Castle, Pennsylvania, but soon afterward removed to Philadelphia, where he continued that business until 1880.
