For his early education he attended school at first in the immediate neighborhood of his home, and after that entered Freehold Insti- tute. During his school days his parents had removed to Freehold, and here Mr. Denise became interested in agriculture and farming, which has ever since that time to a greater or less extent engaged his attention. In 1864 Mr. Denise removed out of Freehold township and for eight years devoted his energies ex- clusively to farming, after which he returned to the town which is his present home. He has made agriculture the study of his life, and has been largely identified with every known farm in the county, having at heart the ad- vancement of the agricultural interests of the county and state.

Grange, No. 92, of which he was the first secretary and in which he has held various other offices.
