18, 1849, and received his education in that country. He came
to America in 1868, working on railroads in Rhode Island,
Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. He came to DePere
in 1872 where he worked in the car shops, later going to Green
Bay, then Grand Rapids and back again to Green Bay. For many
years he served as a marine engineer on Green Bay and Lake.
Michigan. Although taking an interest in political matters he
never sought office of any kind until elected to the assembly
in 1920 and was re-elected in 1922 without opposition after
defeating a primary opponent by better than a two to one vote.
