In 1910 John worked in Ashland as a jig runner in a mine. He spent most of his adult life in Philadelphia working at odd jobs and living in various rooming houses. There are three addresses listed on his 1942 draft registration card, which says he worked in a hospital at the time. Jennie Mae, who lived in Philadelphia, was his point of contact. He died 6 months later and Jennie Mae signed the DC.
According to one census record he had only a 2nd grade education, but could read and write (possibly the 2 meant 2 years of high school, but the census taker should have known what he was doing)
