He received his education in the common schools of his native county. At the age of sixteen years he began serving an apprenticeship in the office of the Venango County Republican at Oil City, where he laid the foundation for his profession. He continued in the printing business in Oil City for several years, then engaged in the same business for himself at Indianapolis, Indiana. Later he con-nected himself with the press of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, as an editor, pub-lisher and business manager. There he remained until coming to Clarion in 1885. He was one of the publishers of the Beaver Argus, and established the Rochester (Penn.) Daily Argus. He served as clerk of the committee on Public Buildings and Grounds at Washington, D. C., during the Congressional term of 1882-83. He was a stockholder and a director of the Clarion State Normal School beginning from its establishment. He was also secretary of the board of trustees of that institution. In 1885 he became a partner with George G. Kribbs in the publication of the Clarion Democrat, with which paper he was ever after identified. Beginning in 1890 the paper was conducted by Messrs. Sansom & Reed.
