Entering the ministry, his health failed, and he then embarked in business at Millheim, Pennsylvania, establishing the musical instrument trade later carried on by his brother, M. C. For a number of years he was an instructor in vocal and instrumental music, meeting with success in this line in connection with his studies and business. Believing the ministry of the Gospel to be his proper calling, he completed his Theological course at the Gettysburg Theological Seminary, graduating with the class of 1889 and ordained to the Evangelical Lutheran ministry. When at college he was commended for his hard work and oratorical efforts. As a clergyman he was said to be a good preacher, a faithful pastor and of pleasing manner, having the aptness of winning people to the Church.
