He acquired his education in the local schools and subsequently worked two and a half years for the Anson, Gilkey & Hurd Co. He then entered the employ of his father in the latter's wagon shop, and so continued until 1908, when he bought the shop and business. In 1922 he bought the Lueck blacksmith shop and is now conducting both shops, doing general repair work.
