The "War of the Rebellion" called for his services, and he enlisted into "A" Company of the 46th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry. He was described as being 5'7" tall, dark complected, with dark hair and blue eyes.
Sgt. Amasa King had been a healthy man until early in 1862, soon after his enlistment, when he took a severe cold and became hoarse, then lost his speech. His speech improved, but he never regained his strength and had relapses and was barely audible. After three years of military service, he was mustered out and soon after died of "lung fever."
