Civil War: he enlisted in Company A, of the Roundhead Regiment, 100th P. V. I., Aug. 22, 1861; was captured in the first skirmish in which his regiment was engaged, June 3, 1862, but was exchanged in time to participate in the battle of Fredericksburg. He was promoted to be sergeant, Feb. 1, 1863, and went with his regiment to Kentucky, Mississippi and Tennessee. He reenlisted Jan. 1, 1864, and was promoted to be sergeant major, March 18, 1864. He was severely wounded in the knee in the battle of Spottsylvania on the 13th of May, and only escaped losing his leg by amputation by threatening the surgeons with a pistol. He was promoted to be second lieutenant, Aug. 7, 1864; captain, Oct. 16, 1864; and major, March 25, 1865. After the war he was engaged in business in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with John W.
