He acquired his education in a district school in Oakwood Township, this county, and was trained to agricultural pursuits on his parents' farm, working for his father until 1907. He then rented his present place, a farm of 120 acres in sections 11 and 12, Elgin Township, which he bought in 1911. He has improved the farm by repairing the house and buildings, and has also built a garage. His operations have been industriously pursued and have netted him good returns.
