A Civil War veteran, he enlisted and mustered into federal service at Marion, Indiana, July 26, 1862, as a private with Co. C, 12th Indiana Infantry. Captured August 30, 1862, at Richmond, Kentucky, he was paroled that same day and returned to duty following formal exchange. He served until hospitalized for illness on October 9, 1863, after which he never returned to active duty. He is listed as absent without leave to date November 4, 1863, at Xenia, Miami County, Indiana, but returned after several months' absence - minus $10 for transportation costs but apparently suffered no other punishment. He was then re-hospitalized at New Albany, indiana, and discharged by surgeon's certificate at Madison U.S. hospital, Madison, Indiana. The illness had damaged his vocal chords, and he never again spoke above a whisper.
At no time did he ever hold a military rank higher than private. Any captain's rank he may have earned could only have come from service in the state militia, or it was merely an honorary title then bestowed on prominent veterans despite whatever rank they may have held in the military.
