1. Enlisted in Palmyra, Lebanon County, August 7, 1862, mustered into federal service at Harrisburg August 13 as a private with Co. I, 127th Pennsylvania Infantry, and honorably discharged with his company May 29, 1863.
2. Enlisted in Harrisburg February 28, 1865, mustered into federal service there March 1 as a corporal with the 83rd Pennsylvania Infantry in the second organization of Co. I, and honorably discharged with his company June 28, 1865.
