Melvin went to school until he was 12 (fourth grade). Then he went to work in the Clarion Glass Works. He was 14 when he joined his father at the Bell Telephone Company. He worked for the Bell Telephone Company for 45 years as a lineman and retired at age 59. Working for the telephone company required his family to move frequently as the letter written by Florence McKisson shows on her page. After retiring from the telephone company Melvin worked part time walking the boundries and creeks of the Taylor Lodge property in Tionesta, Pennsylvania. His last address was Elm Street, Tionesta, Pennsylvania.

The Tionesta home was located just downstream from the Tionesta Dam Spillway on Tionesta Creek and afforded Melvin easy access to his favorite hobby of fishing. Hunting was also his hobby and he raised hunting dogs for many years until he had to give it up because distemper became present in his dog run.

The Tionesta home was sold in 1985.
