The son of Jacob & Mary (Bergstresser) Baltozer, in 1860, he was a laborer living in Toboyne Township, Perry County, and stood 5' 9" tall with light hair and gray eyes.
A Civil War veteran, he enlisted and mustered into federal service at Harrisburg Mary 13, 1864, as a private with Co. K, 187th Pennsylvania Infantry, and discharged by surgeon's certificate August 3, 1865 (although military records are somewhat sporadic and must be pieced together.) He was one of three Baltozer brothers who served during the Civil War.
After the war, he married Anna Matilda Clouse. On July 18, 1901, he entered the soldiers' home in Dayton, Montgomery County, Ohio, but dropped from the rolls September 11, 1901. In 1920, he lived in Harrisburg's 3rd Precinct.
A casualty sheet in his CMSR lists him as a deserter but nothing else found there supports that claim. He was discharged the service by surgeon's certificate at Camp Discharge near Philadelphia by reason of "disease of heart & lungs (red hepatization & palpitation) & debility; arch of thorax flattened."
Cause of death was "streptococic infection [of the] throat and cervical glands right side"
