Private in Army in WWI. Was overseas for two months before being killed in Action by enemy machine gun fire in France during the 2nd Battle of the Marne.

The marker in Cedar Hill Cemetery is a remembrance of him. According to the military, initially his actual burial site was "unknown....somewhere in France", but according to later military records, his burial site is indicated on the card which is posted on his FAG memorial.

He was awarded the Croix de Guerre by the French government in 1919.

Later, the military indicated that he is buried in France in: "Grave #1, Sec. N, Plot 1, American B/A Cty., Fismes, Marne".
