was born in Pittsfield, December 20, 1828. He enlisted in Company E, of the
Fourth New Hampshire volunteers, in 1861. He was soon promoted to be color

Hilton Head in 1862. After serving with his regiment in South Carolina for
nearly three years, he was taken sick with chronic diarrhoea and sent to
