He was graduated from the law school of the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor and practiced law for a few years in Van Wert. In 1883 he married Margaret Varty and shortly afterward moved to Portland, where he engaged in the practice of his profession with the firm of Caples, Hurley & Allen, later Caples & Allen and in later years with Allen & Mulkey.
