He graduated from Hiram College, Ohio, 1860; served through the civil war, two years as private in the Forty-second Ohio Regiment; re-enlisted as captain of the Twelfth Ohio Cavalry "for the war" and served to the end. He was appointed in 1879 to the consulate at Basel by President Hayes: in 1884 transferred to Marseilles; in 1889 promoted to the consulate general at Frankfort-on-the-Main; in 1898 sent to Berlin as consul general; in 1905 to Paris, which position he still occupies.
