    His parents removed to Johnson, VT when he was 10 years old, and he 
    accompanied them, continuing his education in the Johnson public schools.  In
    the summer of 1897 the family removed to Corning, NY.

    While attending the Corning Free Academy from which he was graduated in  1903,
    he took an active interest in the athletic and literary life of the  school,
    working simultaneously during the latter part of his course at  this
    institution as a reporter on the staff of the Corning Evening Leader.  He was
    one of the founders and first editor-in-chief of the Corning Free  Academy
    'Stator," then a monthly which was still flourishing as a school  quarterly
    twenty-five years later. He was for four years a member of the  foot-ball
    'leven of the school, manager of base ball and track athletics  and president
    of the athletic association of the school.

    In the fall of 1903 he entered the Mercersburg, PA, Academy to continue  his
    studies in preparation for college. There he played football until he  met
    with an injury. He was one of the editors of the Mercersburg "Karux,"  the
    school annual, and a contributor to the Mercersburg Literary Magazine  and to
    the Mercersburg "News." He was a member of the Washington Irving  Literary
    Society and belonged to other student organizations and received  various
    minor school honors. He was a member of the class day committee  upon his
    graduation from the institution in 1904 and as an Honor student  gave one of
    the student orations at the annual commencement of the  institution in that
    year.

    For the next fifteen months following his graduation from Mercersburg in  1904
    he was city editor of the Corning, NY, "Evening Leader." In the fall  of 1902
    he entered Williams College at Williamstown, MA, where he completed  the
    Freshman year, and then in the fall of 1906 entered Yale College at  New
    Haven, CT, as a member of the class of 1910. There he completed the  four year
    course in three years terminating his studies in June, 1909, but  not electing
    to receive his degree until June, 1910, when he returned to  receive the
    degree of Bachelor of Arts with his class. At Yale he was a  member and
    officer of the Yale Masonic Club, a member and officer of the  Mercersburg
    Club, the Spanish Club, a charter member of the Yale Chapter  of Acacia and a
    member and officer of Alpha Chapter of  Alpha Sigma Phi  Fraternity. The
    stress of earning funds with which to continue his college  work and his
    desire to complete the course in a shorter period than was  usually required,
    prevented his participation in many extra-curricular  activities towards which
    he had a natural inclination.

    Returning to Corning, NY, in June 1909, he became city editor of the  Corning
    "Evening Leader" a position in which he continued until  September, 1922.
    While a resident of Corning he served from 1912 to 1922  as a clerk of the
    Board of Fire Commissioners of the city. He was a member  and officer of the
    Corning Chamber of Commerce. He served as a director of  Corning Chapter of
    the Red Cross, and as a member of various committees in  connection with the
    Liberty Loan "drives," which accompanied the "World  War." He was a member and
    executive secretary of a Steuben County  Committee, which raised funds for
    prizes and conducted a Juvenile Pig  Raising Club in the county as a war-time
    food measure. He also promoted a  wartime garden movement. He was for six
    years secretary-treasurer of  Corning Club, a charter member of Corning
    Country Club and of the Corning  Rotary Club organized in 1920. He was a
    member of Painted Post Lodge, 117,  F. & A.M., of Corning. He was a member a
    member of Corning Automobile  Club. He was for several years prior to 1922 a
    director and  secretary-treasurer of the Corning-Blossburg Coal Corporation. He
    was  vice-president and director of the Steuben Coal & Supply Company from 1919
    to 1922, this concern operating three coal yards and doing a large  business
    in gasoline and karosene distribution and dealing in automobiles  and trucks.

    He was a trustee of the First Baptist Church of Corning and had served as 
    president of the Men's Club of the church, although he was not a member of 
    this church.
