Mustered in as Private. Was taken Prisoner at New Hope Church, Georgia, May 27th, 1864. Taken to Andersonville Prison, Georgia. Transferred to Florence Stockade, Florence, South Carolina. Prison records show he was a sergeant at the time of his being taken prisoner. He died,1/6/1865 of starvation. He is buried at Florence Stockade and has a stone with his name on it, but it is unclear if he is actually buried with his stone or in one of the mass graves there on the site. All remaining prisoners were paroled and out of Florence by Feb. 1865, one month after his death.
