He was reared on the home farm. He enjoyed really superior educational advantages, passing from the country schools to the State Normal School at California, Pennsylvania, and from there to Mt. Union College, at Alliance, Ohio, and at the latter institution was graduated in the classical course. After he returned home he taught school, several terms in Bentleyville and also in West Pike Run, in Somerset Township. When but eighteen years of age he taught his first school, in Fayette County. For some years he was associated with his father in farming and stock raising, but in 1883 he came to Bentleyville and for ten years was engaged in the mercantile business. He owned some valuable farming land in Washington County, had large coal interests and was a director in the Farmers and Miners National Bank at Bentleyville.
