In 1873, after completing his literary education, he entered the Lagonda National Bank as messenger boy. Here he continued until 1880 working his way upward when he went to Boulder, Colorado, and accepted a position as teller in the National State Bank. After occupying that position for two years, he returned to Springfield and shortly after was tendered the position of assistant cashier of the Springfield National Bank, in which capacity he served until 1899. He then became cashier of that institution, which position he still occupies.
