Early in life he was engaged in a dry goods store and afterwards in a grocery. Later he went to Tawas City, where he was employed by the Prescott Lumber Company.

On Christmas Day, 1891, he and his most intimate friend and boyhood companion were instructing the employes of the Prescott Lumber Company in "pigeon shooting," when the gun in the hands of his friend was accidentally discharged, killing him instantly. His body was brought to his former home in Indiana, and interred in the Moorhead family plot in Oakland cemetery.
