and in Buffalo, NY in 1862 he enlisted in the 27th NY Light Artillery. A month later he re-enlisted in the newly formed 5th Regiment of United States Artillery and about a year later was discharged as a Sergeant in Capt. Truman Seymour’s E Battery. The reason for his discharge was so that he could accept his commission as a 1st lieutenant in the 22nd New York Cavalry, Co. G, where he served till the end of the war.

He died at the Sawtelle Soldier's Home in 1898, and was buried in the cemetery there.
