He studied law with his brother Alexander W. Acheson, and he and C. W. Slagle, of Washington, Pennsylvania, were both admitted to the bar in the spring of 1843, and they at once proceeded to Iowa, settling in Fairfield and entering partnership for the practice of law, which partner­ship continued for thirty-eight years, or until the death of George Acheson in the spring of 1881. Mr. Slagle died one year later. They were the oldest law firm in Iowa. ⁹
