In 1861 he enlisted in Co. E, 2nd Vt. Vols., and served to the close of the war, being discharged as first sergeant, June 18, 1865. He was wounded in three different engagements, first, at Mary's Heights, May 3, 1863, when he was struck in the left side by a minnie ball, fracturing a rib, and which would undoubtedly have caused death had not the ball struck a memorandum book which he carried in his pocket. He was next wounded at the battle of the Wilderness, May 5, 1864,when he was again struck in the left side and sustained a fractured rib. In the battle of Cedar Creek, October 19, 1864, a minnie ball entered his left side and passed entirely through his body. He was a miller by trade
