Was born July 15, 1819, at Burlington Vermont. He was educated in the common schools. He removed to Ohio in 1836, settling in Vermillion, now Erie county, but formely Huron county. Here he assumed control of a furnace business and was engaged in this enterprise for ten years. During the gold excitement in California he spent three years in that state. When the desperadoes inaugurated the reign of terror which threatened to drive all reputable people from the golden state, he was made captain of the famous vigilance committee at Sacromento, which taught villains that justice was abroad, even in that rude society, by hanging Rowe, the brutal murderer of Myers at Mt. Vernon Ohio. He removed to Ohio, and located at Norwalk in 1853, engaging in the Mercantile business. In 1868, he was nominated on the democratic ticket for sherriff. In 1874 he was the democratic candidate for representative; at both elctions he ran way ahead of his ticket. In 1875, he was elected sergeant-at-arms of the Ohio Senate. In 1877, he was elected to the state senate. He was a highly esteemed citizen and made an excellent representative. Bio. from Picturesque Huron 1896
