He graduated from Yale College in 1849. After graduation he studied law in Portland, Me., being occupied a part of the time in teaching and in editorial work. On his admission to the bar, in October, 1852, he began the practice of law in Rockland, Me., but in September of the next year returned to Portland, where for two years he acted as assistant editor of the Portland Advertiser while also practicing his profession. During this time he was twice a member of the House of Representatives of Maine. In July, 1855, he became editor in-chief of the Advertiser, a position which he held until May, 1857, when he accepted a position as associate editor of the Boston Journal^ which he retained to the time of his death.

He was married, in September, 1855, to Miss Sarah M. Lewis, of New Haven, who died after a long and painful illness in 1877. Soon after her death his health began to fail, and for the last few months he was confined to his house in Boston, where he died Jan. 16, 1879, at the age of 52. Of his four children, two daughters and a son are still living.
