farm laborer. He attended school in Cable's Corners, and was for a time a student in the North Ward High School, when Professor Robinson was a teacher. Before he was em- ployed regularly at farm labor, he took care of horses for Mr. Laferty and did odd jobs for Mr. Cable, then he obtained regular work on the farm of George Cable. Mr. Hillis was his next employer and he left his service to enter that of Gen. A. C. Harding, who, in 1871, made him farming
