He was educated at the public schools and followed farming; also he successfully operated a gristmill for many years. In 1861, at the breaking out of the rebellion, he formed Co. H of the 62d regiment, of which he was made captain. He was mortally wounded at Gaines' Mills, June 27, 1861, was taken prisoner, and died shortly after. His remains were never recovered by his relatives and friends.
