with Dr. W. F. DeLaMater, working part of the time to pay his board and tuition, During the winter of 1846-7, he taught school in White Eyes township.
He then continued the study of medicine under Dr. J. Anderson, teaching in the winter and studying in the summer until he had com- pleted the course required. He then went West to earn money to attend a course of lectures. While in the West he met with an accident which rendered him a permanent cripple, there- by changing his intentions in life. He returned home and concluded to follow the profession of teaching, which he has successfully done ever since. His first certificate is dated March 2, 1852, and signed by Thomas Campbell, Esq., who was then acting as county examiner. The only school that he began and did not finish was in Bethlehem township; and the failure was caused by a tree falling on the house and rendering it unfit for further use.

He has always been successful, and has never been compelled to ask the directors to aid him in governing a school, which is something remarkable considering the long time he has been teaching.
