He enlisted and was mustered into service on 29 October 1861. He was enlisted at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, by Captain Casner. He was mustered in as a private in company K of the 91st Pennsylvania Infantry, by Lieutenant Francis Gregory. [4]

Research Notes

Apparently, no one applied for a pension based on his service, since no card has been found for him in the pension index by name (Ancestry index) or the pension index by unit (Fold3).
