He obtained his grammar-school education in New Castle, Pennsylvania, and in 1861 became a drug clerk in the New Castle Dispensary, then managed by James Shields of New Castle. He remained in that connection about ten years, and then read medicine with Dr. Barker of New Castle as preceptor. Late in the winter of 1871-'72, he entered the Miami Medical College of Cincinnati, Ohio, and graduated in 1873. In 1872, prior to his graduation and to receiving his diploma, his first field of practice was in Harlansburg, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania. In 1873 he opened an office in New Castle and late in 1874, he removed to Chuckatuck, Nansemond County, Virginia, where he remained a year and a half, returning from there to Harlansburg, in 1876. In 1879, he located permanently in New Castle, where he was very successful in a general practice. He was a member of the Lawrence County Medical Society, and also belonged to the F. & A. M., Lodge of the Craft, No. 433 of New Castle. Politically, he was a firm Republican, and held the office of coroner about sixteen years.
