 It was there that the subject of this sketch grew to manhood. He attended the public schools and later studied under Chauncey Mo Carthy, a we'll known educator, in the meantime learning the carpenter trade with his father. Under MT Mccarthy he pre- pared himself for the profession of a teacher, and taught for two years, but not caring for teaching, he again en- gagged in carpenter work with his fath- CT, and has successfully followed that line of business. He removed to Bridgeport in 1883, being employed by
 the Savage & Smith Building Company for five years. He was also stock holder in this company He then em- parked in business for himself, as a contractor and builder, and has es- tablished a large and increasing busi- ness. He IS President of the Master Carpenters Association of Bridgeport,
