Civil War veteran: Private, Company A, 41st Ohio Volunteer Infantry.
Entered the service from Trumbull Co., Ohio.
Killed May 27, 1864, in battle of Pickett's Mills, Ga. Interred in National cemetery, Chattanooga.
Battle of Pickett's Mills: The 41st Ohio went into this engagement with 262 men, and lost 108 killed and wounded. In one company, out of 22 men engaged, 20 were shot: and in a very small company, which took into the fight only 11 men, the loss was 9. The greater part of this heavy loss was sustained in the opening of the battle, which came like a volley from an ambush, and in the second attempt to storm the enemy's position, when the men, who had found some shelter, were called to their feet only to receive a fire as severe as that at the beginning of the fight. Finally, the wounds were made at short range; not a hundred yards separated the combatants. The exception to this was the enfilading fire from the right, where the enemy was a half mile away.
