Biographical Information
According to Burton W. Nesbitt, volunteer Lorain County coordinator for the National Graves Registration Project of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, he served as a private in Co. C of the 23rd Ohio Infantry, enlisted 4/25/1861, "died of disease at Gauley Bridge, Va. (and was) buried at Grafton, WV." His name does not appear in the family's listing in the 1850 census.
