Joseph was a resident of Sheldon, Franklin County, Vermont when he enlisted as a Private in Co. L, the 1st Vermont Cavalry on September 10, 1863. He served until he was mustered out of the army on June 13, 1865.

Joseph married Mary Phylis LeDoux on July 20, 1868 at Richford, VT. They were the parents of the following children, Sarah J., born in 1869; Walter William, born in 1869; Mary Jane, born in 1871; Ernest M., born in 1876; Merritte, born in 1879; Alvin William, born in 1881; Vernie B., born in 1884; and Thomas W., born in 1888.

Joseph, whose wife Mary died at St. Albans, VT on May 15, 1923, evidently moved to Attleboro, MA following her death. The cost of his interment at Woodlawn Cemetery was borne by the William A. Streeter Grand Army of the Republic Post No. 145 of Attleboro, which also ensured a government issued headstone was provided to mark his grave.
