1848, and was reared to the trade of blacksmith by his father, who was a
skilled worker in iron. In 1871 he left his native home an sailed for
America, having in view the bettering his condition in life and a better
remuneration for his labor. His first work in this country was on a farm,
where he readily learned the customs and language of the American people.
