C, 127th Pennsylvania Infantry, and honorably discharged with his company May 29, 1863. He also enlisted in Harrisburg July 15, 1864, mustered into federal service there July 18 as a private with Co.

He died while on the job as a freight conductor in the Lancaster train yard when his head was crushed between the bumpers of two cars he was trying to couple. His obituary states, "His life in all probability went out like the flash of a candle" and blamed the accident on carelessness not befitting "a fourteen-year veteran of the railroad." At the time of his death, he and Carrie were separated.
