A Civil War veteran, he was federally drafted at the stated age of twenty-eight in Perry County, and mustered into federal service at Carlisle August 17, 1863, as a private with Co. I, 149th Pennsylvania Infantry. A shell fragment struck him in the right side at the battle of Laurel Hill May 10, 1864, and he did not advance with the regiment after the injury. He returned to active duty and honorably discharged with his company June 24, 1865, at Elmira, New York. He is in the company register as "Garland."
Acquaintances described him as "a big, lusty man" at enlistment and a "skeleton" just before his death at the reported age of 46-7-20 possibly from an infection that began in the sole of one of his feet. In 1892, Sarah lost their house and its contents to fire.
