''When a child, he was remarkable for his kind and obliging disposition and was very fond of relieving the wants of the poor.  Early in life he became hopefully converted, and united with the Methodist Church in the town of Knox.  When the war broke out, he felt a great anxiety to have the union of the United States preserved, and he thought that the Government needed his services more than they were needed at home. Like most of the noble men whose careers we have sketched, he received on enlisting no bounty money but was influenced by the purest patriotism.
