In 1860, he was a laborer living with and/or working for well-to-do farmer Peter Reist in Warwick Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
A Civil War veteran, the military data printed in his obituary shown here is largely incorrect. He actually enlisted and mustered into federal service at Lancaster August 22, 1864, as a private with Independent Battery C Pennsylvania Light Artillery. On January 12, 1865, he was among those transferred to Battery M, 5th Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery (204th Pa), and honorably discharged with his battery June 30, 1865.
