He came to Westminster about 1840 to take the leadership of the military band. His efficiency in music gained him, after a few years, a wide reputation and opened up for him elsewhere a more important and lucrative field of activity in this line. He served a regimental band master during the war, acquitting himself with credit and honor. After the war until his death he resided in Chicago.
