Born in Waubeek, Linn County, Iowa, West moved to Bellefontaine, Ohio in 1891, and read law in the office of his uncle, William H. West. He entered the bar in 1893, and entered private practice in Bellefontaine starting in 1893. He served in the Company F, Second Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry from May to September 1898 during the Spanish–American War and was a private.
