At an early age he was assistant teller in the Citizens' National bank of Pittsburgh, then styled Citizens' bank, after which he followed the river for seven years as clerk, and in the last year of the civil war was in the United States government employ, on the steamer John S.

Then was cashier and general manager of the Pittsburgh exposition till 1883, when the exposition buildings burned. After this he had charge of three large "Thomas concerts," and helped to establish the Ohio Valley Gas company, of which he became treasurer, and having previously been secretary and general manager.
