America by himself, was six weeks crossing the ocean, landed at New 
York, went to work on a farm in Madison County, worked about six months,
then went to Clermont County, Ohio, and worked on a farm until 
September, 1861, when he enlisted in the Fourth Ohio Cavalry, Company B,
serving until July 15, 1865.  He held the offices of corporal and
