After receiving a common school educa­tion he attended a select school at Centreville, Pennsylvania, and also Witherspoon Institute. In 1870 he was severely injured by a fall, which resulted in necrosis, and he was bedfast for ten years. In 1882 he was nominated and elected, on the Republican ticket, register and recorder of Butler County, and served a full term. He went into the oil business in 1886 at Renfrew, his first well producing twenty-five barrels per day. He put down his second well on the Williamson Hartley farm at Thorn Creek, which came in at 7,000 barrels per day. After that time he operated in the Evans City, the Amberson and Little Creek fields in But­ler County, and also in West Virginia, but late confined his operations to the Amberson, Callery and Garvin fields.
