Born at Hudson,New Hampshire in 1858,he was a relative of American newspaper publisher Horace Greeley. [2] He moved to Canada in 1879,settling first in Fort Walsh and later at Maple Creek. [1] At Maple Creek he was manager of T.C. Power's general store,and later took up ranching. [1]
He was elected to represent Medicine Hat in the 1898 North-West Territories general election,and sat as a supporter of Frederick W. A. G. Haultain's government.
