Boxer Rebellion Medal of Honor Recipient. Served in the Chinese Relief Expedition during the Boxer Rebellion as a Private in Company C, 9th United States Infantry. He was awarded the CMOH for his bravery at Tientsin, China, on July 13, 1900. His citation reads "Although previously wounded while carrying awounded comrade to a place of safety, rejoined his command, which partly occupied an exposed position upon a dike, remaining there after his command had been withdrawn, singly keeping up the fire, and obliviously presenting himself as a conspicuous target until he was literally shot off his position by the enemy". The date of the awarding of his Medal, one of two issued posthumously from the Boxer Rebellion, was not recorded, and is unknown.
