He was graduated from Jefferson Medical College in 1861. He entered the service at the beginning of the Civil War as a surgeon of the Thirty-fourth Pennsylvania Volunteer Regiment of three months' men and afterward became surgeon of the Fifth Pennsylvania Reserves. He had an extensive practice in hospital work, and while attending to the wounded on the field was himself twice wounded in the battle at Bethesda Church, May 30, 1864, on the last day of his term of service. He was afterwards surgeon of the One Hundred and Ninety-fifth Pennsylvania Regiment. For eleven months during the war he was assistant surgeon of the government hospital at Reading. Soon after the war he moved to Indianapolis, spent fourteen years there, and returned to Reading in 1880.
