He received his schooling in Waynesboro, Franklin County, Pennsylvania. His first work was done in the service of his country. He enlisted, in 1862, in Company A, One Hundred and Twenty-sixth Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, for nine months, but remained ten months. In 1864 he re-enlisted, this time in Company L, Twenty-first Pennsylvania Cavalry, and was second sergeant when honorably discharged at the close of the war. He participated in several engagements, among which may be named Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Cold Harbor, and in all the subsequent battles up to the time of the surrender of Gen. Lee in 1865, and he was present when that general handed his sword to Gen. Grant. At the close of the war he returned to Waynesboro, but in the same year went to Springfield, Illinois, where he studied dentistry and also dental surgery. He entered the practice of his chosen profession in 1866. In 1881 he returned to Waynesboro and established an office on Main Street, where he attended to his profession.
