He was born on the Powers' homestead in O'Hara township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. There he grew to manhood, in his youth acquiring a substantial education in the public schools.

He made many improvements on this property, among other things erecting a fine residence on the place about 1889, and cultivated his farm for general products. He gave his political support to the Republican party, and was a member of the Methodist church.
