Individual:
The first eight years of his life were past on a large farm and he was early taught to make himself useful. He vividly remembers the keen enjoyment on those rare occasions when he had a half holiday to himself. When he was eight his parents moved to a farm in Mass. in order to benefit his father's health and to give his children a better education than could be given to them in Huntington. He attended the District and High Schools until he was eighteen. The time between then (1878 and 1886) was spent in working at various things, as a carpenter, foreman on a farm, machinist, etc. In order to earn money sufficent to pay the expense of a legal education. In that year (1886) he entered the Boston University School of Law, and three years later graduated. He was admitted to the Suffolk Bar, July 23, 1889. Since then he has been a member of the legal firm of Ira B. and Chas. S. Forbes at South Framingham, Mass.
