service during the Civil War, and the father desired to enlist also. His wife gave her consent for him to enlist and he entered the army of the frontier as a private, but was elected Captain of Co. B, 11th Kansas Vol. Inf. He was promoted to the rank of major Nov. 22, 1862 and received further promotion as Colonel by brevet, March 10, 1865.
