He was educated in the public schools of Show Low and had two 
years work in the State Normal School at Flagstaff.  On leaving 
school he engaged in the cattle business which he carried on 
for twenty years and then, in 1919 he engaged in the lumber 
business in Holbrook.  He carries a large and complete line of 
lumber of all kinds as well as dimension stuff and has built up 
a large business, founded on fair dealing, prompt service and 
the right quality of material.
