Fall Creek, Illinois. He spent his boyhood on the farm,
attending the district schools in winter, and finished his academic
education at Chaddock College, Quincy, Ill.
He then accepted a position as teacher in the
college, then being but twenty-two years old. For two years he
studied law, and after his admittance to the bar, first practiced in

He came to Kansas City in 1887, and allied
himself with the late Blake Woodson, the partnership continuing until
1897.
