Served in the Tennessee Campaign of 1862 as an aide de camp to Brig. Gen. Lovell H. Rousseau, Fourth Brigade, Second Division, Army of the Ohio

Occupation: civil engineer/surveyor

(No marker can be found for him; however, his wife's gravestone is in this cemetery & has a blank area above her name & death date information to be completed for a husband & his death certificate says he was buried in Newtown.)

Flagspring Cemetery was established in 1863, and the introduction for this cemetery explains that "a complete register of burials does not exist but additional facts found in the limited records were added to the inscriptions". Information was also obtained from the former Barrere Funeral Home of Eastern Avenue and T.P. White Funeral Home of New Richmond, Ohio. Several pages of the listings for burials note that: "The names on this page are a continuation of those entered in the various record books as burials or payment received for graves or with notation for reserving additional graves. Their names were not found on gravestones. No standard method of record keeping was ever used and no records for some of the years."
