Educated in the schools of his native village and the Bible College of Kentucky University. He came to Illinois about 1870. Held several pastorates, for which work he was not well fitted, but in the evangelistic field he was an unusually brilliant and successful preacher. Many were well taught and brought into the church through his ministry. His early death came by an accidental gunshot wound.
