From the 1903 Historical Encyclopedia of Illinois and Biography of McHenry County Citizens.
I turned right to this page and decided to write down the pertinent information for this Illinois Civil War veteran and McHenry County resident.
He is described as being a leading citizen and businessman in Algonquin, Illinois.
Born in Harlem, New York August 21, 1842 and his parents moved to Chicago that year.
Enlisted July 28, 1862 in Co. K, 88th Illinois and honorably discharged in Springfield, Illinois, July 7. 1865.
