Up to the age of sixteen years he received a common school education. At that date he began clerking in a drug store, getting only a few months more of schooling at odd times. Two years were spent in the drug business and two at learning the printing trade; and in the winter of 1859 he taught a country school and continued the following summer and the next winter at the same place. Although he had an enrollment of over 60 scholars, he taught there the three terms without ever striking a scholar. He was employed for the school for the winter of 1861, but after teaching through the first ten days of October, resigned and enlisted as a private of Co G, 16th Ohio Vol. Inf. He marched with his regiment through eastern Kentuckey to Cumberland Gap, Tennessee, where they were beseiged by an overwhelming force under Bragg, and finally had to retreat to the Ohio river, and were sent into West Virginia, and from there to the Vicksburg stronghold. At that point he was discharged for a heart ailment contracted on the march. During these 17 months he was much of the time on detail as druggist of the regiment or brigade.
Arriving at home April 1, 1863, he remained till June, when he accepted the position of contract druggist at Dennison U. S. Hospital, which at that time contained nearly 3000 sick and wounded soldiers. In November of that year he was again mustered into the service, as Hospital Steward, 12th U. S. Infantry and was put in charge of the entire drug commissary and other departments of the Hospital, and so remained till the close of the war, being mustered out upon his own application December 19, 1865.
During the summer of 1866, he was captain of a canal boat plying between his native town and Cleveland, Ohio, some 90 miles on the Ohio Canal. In 1867 he purchased a drug store, and continued at that business for several years. In 1868 he was appointed local agent for the Union Express Co., which was succeeded by the American Express. He ran this in connection with the drug business; but having been made Route Agent for the Company, sold out his drug interest. After ten years with the Express Companies, in 1879 he bought a half interest in the Iron Valley Reporter, located in his home town, and the following spring purchased the remainder, and was continuously editor and proprietor for over twenty years.
In June 1898 he received from President McKinley the appointment of Postmaster, and during his years of service the office was advanced from third to second class, and the salary increased from $1800 to $2200.
