He was baptized Sept. 5, 1872, by Joseph McMurrin. At the age of thirteen years he was ordained a Deacon, and several years later he was ordained an Elder. Oct. 17, 1888, he married Martha B. Golightly, and he was ordained a Seventy April 2, 1891, by Geo. Reynolds; later, he became clerk of the 10th quorum of Seventy. From 1895 to 1898 he filled a mission to Australasia, where he first labored as a traveling Elder in Tasmania, and later as president of the New South Wales conference. Sept. 27, 1897, when the Australasian mission was divided, he was chosen president of the Australian mission. On his return home he was appointed to labor as a home missionary in the Salt Lake Stake.

His education was gained in the public schools and in the Deseret University. He is a carpenter by trade, but for a number of years [p.603] he has been engaged in the police department of Salt Lake City.
