In 1861 when the rebellion broke out he enlisted as a volunteer for three months or during the entire war and made a recruiting officer and was honorably discharged. During the last 15 years of his life he was looked after and cared for by his granddaughter Miss Lucy Spivey who proved to be a granddaughter indeed ever looking and administering to his wants.
