Born March 2, 1869, at Manhattan, Kansas. While at home, and not otherwise engaged, he took hold of farm work, in which he felt a special interest. After giving careful attention to Public School work for a number of years, in 1889 he went to Tarkio, Missouri, and at once entered on college studies in the institution located at that place. He was a diligent student and pleasant with his associates. After a course of study requiring six years, he graduated at Tarkio College, June 13, 1895. For a year after his graduation he engaged in business of different kinds, as opportunity afforded. In the fall of 1896 he entered the Theological Seminary at Xenia, Ohio, having chosen the ministry as his life work. He is an earnest, devoted Christian, active in Christian effort in his younger years. And may we not truly hope that when his work on earth is ended, that very many precious immortal souls will have been given him by the Master as a crown of rejoicing.
