In 1862, during the Civil War, A. C. joined the 9th Indiana Legion (Union), for a term of 30 days. Word had been received that the Confederate Gen.

Gen. Morgan and his men. They never saw them.
A. C. and his family arrived in Washington Territory, from
Indiana, in March of 1884. They started the Mayfield Store, on the banks of the Nooksack, in Ferndale. The family lived above the store. On the evening of 21 Sep 1885, A.
