He was educated in the common-schools of Luzerne Co., PA. He assisted his father on the farm until he was twenty-one years of age. In February of 1865, he turned toward the west, by rail to St. Joseph, Missouri, and then by team of oxen across the plains to Salmon Falls, Idaho, where he engaged with Briggs and Clark to operate a ferry. In March of the following year he went to La Grande, Oregon, and for three years was engaged in various work and then bought a team and freighted and logged until 1872, when he came into the valley and bought a farm partly cultivated and devoted his attention to tilling it. In 1884, he purchased another quarter one and one-half miles north and one and one-fourth miles east of La Grande. In 1886, he purchased yet another quarter and devoted his attention to general farming, raising stock and producing sugar beets, raising as many as 800 tons of beets annually, being one of the largest beet raisers of the section. He had an important residence of modern design and supplied with all of the improvements, besides commodious barns and outbuildings that cost more than $3,000. He also owned other property and was one of the leading property owners of the county. He was one of Union County's intelligent and enterprising agriculturists and stockmen. He achieved a very flattering success in Union County with his personal characteristics of ability and integrity. He achieved his splendid success by dint of hard effort and wise management. He was also one of the influential men of the county and highly esteemed by all. Re: The Michael Shoemaker Book, p. 24.
