At the age of twenty years he enlisted in the 63d Ohio Vol. Inf. He veteraned and served until August, 1865; was four times wounded and carried the scars of his numerous encounters on his face, in which was lodged a piece of a confederate bullet. After the war he graduated at the Glade Run Academy in Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, and at Jefferson College, Washington County, Pennsylvania, and was also a graduate of the Western Theological Seminary at Allegheny City. He became pastor of the Elderton Presbyterian church in 1877, and was ordained June 29, of that year.
