His father came from North Carolina, and settled in Orange County, Ind., while the country was yet a wilderness and inhabited by the Indians.

At the age of fifteen, he lost an arm by a runaway horse. After a season at the pioneer schools, he came to Parke County, Ind., and attended the Bloomingdale School, conducted by the Friends. Then he taught for a period of three years.
