Orr was born June 8, 1854 in Licking county, Ohio. In 1863 he moved with his parents to Indiana where he spent most of his life.

Orr taught for several years in Whitney county; before he set out for Fort Wayne, to become a street car driver-in the days when street cars literally were horse-powered. Interests Soon Broadened Tho he became a motorman when electricity was substituted for torses, Orr's interest soon began to extend beyond his immediate occupation. A Knights of Labor movement in Fort Wayne eventually led him to move to Indianapolis so he could help organize the Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric Railway Employes of America. Orr spent the rest of his life in the union movement, becom i i i Kane County to Study Proposed Health Department timated at $180,000.
