After completing a common school education, he began learning the trade of machinist at Dumfermline, his birthplace, and completed the same at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in which city his parents located upon their arrival in America in 1852. From 1864 to 1869 he worked in the mines of the Westmoreland Coal Company, and in the latter year was appointed mining boss at the Shafton coal mines, in which capacity he served for ten years. He then removed to Houtzdale, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, and was superintendent of the Kittanning Coal Company's mines for two years. In 1882 he became superintendent of mines at Morewood; he was transferred two years later to the position of mining engineer for the Frick Coke Company. In 1886 he was made superintendent by the above company of their coke plants at Morewood, Warden, Dillinger, Alice and Tarr's. The ovens at these works numbered 1151, of the eight thousand owned or operated by the Southwest Coal and Coke Company.
