Shippenville, Clarion Co, PA - a wagonmaker and blacksmith

He was reared and educated in his native county, and at Jackson, Ohio. He learned the wagonmaker's trade, which he followed in that state until the outbreak of the Civil war. At Jackson, Ohio, he enlisted, October 14, 1861, for three years, in Company C, Sixth Ohio Cavalry, and with the Army of the Potomac participated in the battles of Cross Keys and Port Republic. By an Act of Congress, he was honorably discharged July 8, 1862, but on the 15th of the following August, he joined the Twenty-first Indiana Battery, Light Artillery, and was sworn into the United States service at South Bend, Indiana, being assigned to the Army of the Cumberland. He took part in the battles of Hoover's Gap, Chickamauga and Chattanooga, and at the last named was detailed in the Fifth United States Battery and stationed in front of Chattanooga during the siege of that place, where he remained for two weeks. He then went with his command to Lookout Mountain, and, when that stronghold was taken, proceeded to Nashville, where he was transferred to C'ornpany K, Eleventh Veteran Reserve Corps, with which he served until hostilities ceased. He participated in the Grand Review at Washington, D. C., and then was sent to Albany, New York, where he was finally discharged August 8, 1865. Returning to his home in Jackson, Ohio, he resided there until 1869, when he removed to Titusville, Pennsylvania, and later to Oil City, working at his trade in both places. Subsequently, he lived in Salem, Pennsylvania, and from there moved to Shippenville, Clarion County, in 1875. He became one of the representative and prominent business men of the place, taking an active interest in its welfare, and doing all in his power to advance its prosperity.
He was a Republican in politics, and served as a member of the school board and city council. He was a prominent member of Amos Kiser Post No. 475, G. A. R., of which he was elected commander in 1897, and his wife belonged to the Ladies Relief Corps. They were consistent members of the Lutheran Church.
