He served in the Civil War and engaged in the work of his trade, that of blacksmith, in Venus, Pennsyl-vania. He was a Republican in politics and a member of the Methodist Episcopal church.

In August, 1864, he enlisted at Brookville, Jefferson County, PA, in Company B, 211th P. V. I., for one year or during the war.
