He was a graduate of Salem High School, and was for many years a mariner. He was on board the Prairie Flower in 1858, at the time of the calamity in which so many of his companions lost their lives; he saved his own by his expertness as a diver and swimmer, which afterward (1862) served to save the lives of a crew, as well as of a steamship of which he was an officer; at this last time he probably laid the foundation of heart disease of which he died.
