---

Civil War: he enlisted in Co. D, 134th P. V. I., in August, 1862; was corporal of his company. After the expiration of the nine months' service, he re-enlisted in Co. A, 55th Pennsylvania State Militia in the summer of 1863, and served three months, spending most of the time at Parkersburg, West Virginia. In the summer of 1864, he again enlisted in Co. E; 193d P. V. I.; was sergeant of his company. This was the one hundred days service, and the regiment was employed principally in guarding Baltimore and the ferry boats at Havre de Grace.
At the battle of Chancellorsville, May 3, 1863, he had a narrow escape. A minnie ball cut through the folds of his undergarment on the left side, passing directly over the region of the heart.
When a young man, he spent several years in the printing business, working on all the papers then in New Castle. Later he was a clerk under his brother Charles in the New Castle office of the P. F. W. and C. R. R.
