He was reared on the home farm. He received his elementary and academic education in the common schools and the State Normal school at Indiana, Pennsylvania, from which institution he was graduated in the class of 1878. He then entered the sophomore class of Washington and Jefferson college and attended that well-known educational institution for two years. Leaving college, he engaged in teaching, and was principal for some time of the Woodvale public schools, of Johnstown. In 1885 he commenced reading law with W. L. Stewart, Esq., was admitted to the Indiana county bar in October, 1887, and then was actively and successfully engaged in the practice of his chosen profession. In 1888 he was elected, on the democratic ticket, an auditor of Indiana County, which gave a large republican majority at that election. In 1889 he ran for district attorney; but, while leading his ticket, was unable to overcome the increased republican majority of that year.
