Civil War veteran. In spite of his advanced age, he enrolled 25 Jan 1864 at Memphis, Tennessee for a period of 3 years. Records report "Mustered into service on 1 Feb 1864 at Memphis, Tennessee" and "Discharged July 1/65 at Vicksburg, Miss. for disability by order of Maj. Gen'l Canby."

Details of his marriage and family are given on his wife's memorial, linked below.

That his headstone has not been found is unsurprising to anyone who knows the history of this cemetery. Many of the headstones were bulldozed into a gully by an oil company that leased the land for drilling.
