He had been for some time an inmate of the old Soldier�s Home near Nashville, and on July 4, walked to the railroad station, a distance of about three miles, to come into Nashville and participate in the celebration to raise funds for a monument to the private soldier.

He was incapacitated for service and joined Sykes communiary department remaining with him until 1865.
