The son of John & Sarah Agnes (Nesbeth) Dislear, in 1860 he was a laborer living in Greene Township, Franklin County, Pennsylvania. He stood 5' 7" tall and had light hair and blue eyes.

A Civil War veteran, his tombstone omits one of his regiments and gets the other one wrong. He first enlisted in Chambersburg August 4, 1862, mustered into federal service at Harrisburg August 11 as a private with Co. C, 126th Pennsylvania Infantry, and honorably discharged with his company May 20, 1863. He also enlisted in Chambersburg March 3, 1864, mustered into federal service at Harrisburg April 4 as a private with Battery C, 2nd Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery (112th Pa), and honorably discharged with his battery July 21, 1865.

He marred Anna Ellen Gelwicks and, in 1900, lived in Chambersburg. Children, if any, have not been found. The family name was spelled a variety of ways, including "Ditzler" and "Deitzler."
