G, Twelfth Regiment Infantry, Vermont Volunteers, August 14, 1862, and was mustered out of the service, July 14, 1863, by reason of expiration of term of service. At the time of his death he was a member of Gettysburg Post, No. 193, G.A.R., Boston, of the Vermont Veterans Association of Boston and vicinity, also a member of the Vermont Association Boston. He was born in Brandon, and had lived there very many years of his life and succeeded his father as a merchant. He is survived by a wife, a son of sixteen years and two brothers. He previously married Miss Bingham, of Shoreham long since dead.
