Frank joined a Union regiment in what became West Virginia. Because of bad conditions and under the influence of an older soldier, James W. Johnson, he was enticed to desert. The two set out to the mid-West ending up in Vigo Co., Indiana where they worked at a sawmill until they had the opportunity to join a cavalry regiment. Frank, under the name of John F. Dierker, and James under the name, James Brathwait, joined Company B of the 6th Indiana Cavalry. According to Frank's grandson Herman, he served as an aide to General Sherman until the March to the Sea when he was given other duties.
Apparently, Frank was still going by the name Dierker when he married Frances J. Beauchamp in 1866 as he and all his family were listed under Dierker. Later, he and his wife Frances crossed the border into Illinois and remarried under his correct name.
