John attended North Parsonsfield Seminary and, at age 18, engaged in school teaching, civil engineering and farming until age 26. Then, after studying law during his leisure hours, he practiced law in the probate courts, while continuing the business of civil engineering for another 10 years. Since then (about age 36), he concentrated his efforts on the practice of law, with an extensive practice in the probate courts of Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. He held various town offices and was in the State Legislature in 1872 and 1873. One of the more interesting things said about John is that he possessed in a remarkable degree the merit of "knowing how to mind his own business."
