Please note the following errors regarding his muster place, age and death place:
According to the “Pennsylvania, Civil War Muster Rolls, 1860-1869”, he enlisted in Lancaster, Pennsylvania on 30 August 1864 and mustered into federal service on the same date. On this record, he's listed as being a private in the 17th Pennsylvania Cavalry, Company C in the 9th congressional district which was under the direction of Captain Stevens. The error on this record is that he is listed as being 35 years old and that he died in a hospital in Baltimore, Maryland (the hospital isn't named).
The “U.S., Civil War Soldier Records and Profiles, 1861-1865”, has an error in saying he mustered out on 7 April 1865 at Baltimore, Maryland (true in that he died on that date, however the place seems to be incorrect or in conflict with the above mentioned records). It also says that he did not survive the war, which was true. There is no image of this record.
