The son of Prudence Wharton, in 1860 he was a carpenter living in Newton-Hamilton, Mifflin County, Pennsylvania, although four years later it appears he was a resident of Carlisle, Cumberland County. He stood 5' 5" tall and had dark hair and gray eyes.
A Civil War veteran, his service records allege that he enlisted in Carlisle April 9, 1864, and mustered into federal service at New Berne, North Carolina, that same day (impossible) as a private with Co. A, 101st Pennsylvania Infantry, and honorably discharged with his company June 25, 1865.
An 1872 graduate of the University of Illinois, he married Vermont-born Emily B. Boughton sometime after 1880, but they apparently had no children. He became a school teacher and in 1880 lived in Selby, Bureau County, Illinois, in 1900, in Chicago, and died in Maywood.
