A Civil War veteran, he enlisted in Centre County, March 29, 1862, his father granting written permission to do so, and mustered into federal service at Harrisburg April 10 as a private with Co. D, 45th Pennsylvania Infantry. He was admitted to Cliffburne U.S. Hospital, Washington DC, August 18, 1862, for treatment of an unknown illness and discharged the hospital on August 31. On October 10, 1863, he was wounded (possibly in the right foot) at the battle of Blue Spring in Greene County, Tennessee, and hospitalized at Knoxville, but returned to duty and re-enlisted as a Veteran Volunteer December 31, 1863, at Blaines Crossroads, Tennessee. Wounded in the left elbow at the battle of the Wilderness on May 6, 1864, he was admitted to 1st Division U.S. Hospital at Alexandria, Virginia, on May 14.
