He worked hard to raise his family of twelve in that wilderness. In 1874 his wife died and he broke up housekeeping. The younger children were taken by neighbors, and the older looked out for themselves. He was not inclined to acquire or hold wealth.

With a common school education, the subject of this sketch left home at the age of seventeen, and was employed by a relative in a Baltimore publishing house for several years, and while in that city graduated from a business college. The publishing house moved to Alexandria, Va., and the doctor went there also, remained eighteen months, then returned to his home town, West Point, Va., and bought a share in the West Point Virginian, a weekly paper. The field was small, and after two years he went to Washington and secured a govern- ment position. In 1895 he graduated in medicine at the Georgetown Uni- versity, and began practicing in Washington, where he filled important positions both in hospitals and in the medical college from which he grad- uated. In 1897 he was called to Whitmer to perform a surgical operation, and finding a field there, he sold out in Washington and located in Whitmer, where he at once took his place in the front rank of his profession.
