He is listed on various records as being born either in Cincinnati or in Glendale, a town just outside Cincinnati.
Served in World War I from 1916 to 1919, being transferred from the Regular Army; see listing, e.g., in The Official Roster of Ohio Soldiers, Sailors, and Marines in the World War, Volume 7 for his varied ranks and assignments. He resigned his WWI commission in 1919 but continued his career in the Army.
In 1922 The Washington Post reported that he was being transferred from Cavalry school to the National Guard in Wisconsin to be an instructor of cavalry (22 May 1922, p. 9). The Brownsville Herald (of Brownsville, Texas) reported in their 2 August 1929 issue that he had been on leave from the Army, living in Brownsville, and had returned from leave to take over as post and regimental adjutant at Fort Brown in Brownsville. By 1941 he had been promoted to Lt. Col. and was executive officer of the Kansas City, Missouri, military district (The Kansas City Star, 9 May 1941 issue, p. 9).
His gravestone shows WWII service as a Colonel but so far I have not been able to locate specific details, just that he finally left the Army on 31 October 1945, one month shy of serving 29 years.
