At the early age of nine, he began work as a coal-miner in Illinois and worked in mines until he was thirty-two years old. By this time he had learned engineering and took charge of an engine in St. Clair county, Illinois. He followed that vocation until he came to Roslyn in June, 1889. After spending a year in the mines he went to Salt Lake and was employed as conductor and motorman on an electric road for four years. His last move was back to Roslyn, where he worked in the mines until March, 1899, then establishing himself in his present business.
