He enlisted at the age of 21 in Buffalo, NY on Aug 13, 1863 for 3 years service. He was mustered into Co. H. 12th NY Cavalry on Aug 27, 1863. He was captured by the rebels and was returned to duty on June 20, 1865. He was mustered out at Raleigh, NC on July 19, 1865.
On Oct 24, 1890 he received an Army Invalid Pension for his service in the Civil War, and following his death his wife Elizabeth received an Army Widows Pension beginning on March 11, 1904.
As a veteran of the Civil War, he became a member of Post #306 of the Grand Army of the Republic in Chicago, IL.
Note: Due to the phonetic spelling in the 19th century, his name appears as: Cardinell, Cordinall, Cardinel, Cardnial, and Cardownell. I have gone with Cardinell as it appears on his military pension records. His date of birth is also given as 1842, 1846, and 1849.
