Returned home where he re-enlisted for 3 years in the 3rd Missouri Infantry. After the siege at Vicksburg, MS in which he participated, he was appointed by Pres. Lincoln as a cadet in the Military Academy at West Point for meritorious conduct. After graduation in 1867 he received a commission as a 2nd Lt. in the 2nd Artillery serving that time on the Pacific Coast.

Upon graduation he was assigned to Ft. McHenry, Baltimore, MD. At this post he became a 1st Lt. and was assigned to Fort Macon, NC. He died unexpectedly from an illness that appeared to be no more than a simple cold.
