Orrin's youth was split between attendance in the district school and work on the farm where he was born. He attended college at Philips Academy, Andover, Mass., and was graduated from Yale in 1869. He studied law with Judge Thomas Wilson, of Winona, Minnesota, and being admitted to the bar, served as city attorney there for several years.
