In 1857 he began the study of photography in San Francisco, and three years later went to Mexico and engaged in his profession. Early in 1862 he returned to Indiana. During the War of the Rebellion he followed the army, in the capacity of a photographer, until the surrender of Vicksburg, December, 1863, when he returned home and opened a gallery at Indianapolis.
