A Civil War veteran, he enlisted at the stated age of twenty-four in Port Jervis August 12, 1862, mustered into federal service September 5 as a private with Co. F, 124th New York Infantry, and promoted to corporal September 23, 1863. Whether due to prolonged illness or wounds - I do not yet know which - he transferred to 3rd Co., 2nd Battalion, Veteran Reserve (Invalid) Corps, and was honorably discharged at Washington DC August 9, 1865.
Although he was living in Port Jervis, oddly in 1913 he became a member of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania's Skelly Post No. 9, G.A.R. Where - or if - he ever lived there is as yet unknown. No obituary was found in any online newspaper archive. At the time of his death, his wife was Rebecca G. Adams.
