Pl
When the war of the rebellion commenced, he was appointed recruiting officer, and
became Captain of Company F, of the Eighty-seventh Indiana Regiment of Recruits. He served
four months, then returned home to continue his business. His services, though not of long
duration, were sufficient to show the interest he felt in the welfare of his country.
Death first entered his household in 1871, taking from him his wife, and leaving a
shadow hanging over his once happy home, and thus leaving him the whole care of his two sons.
Finding that a vacancy must be filled, he married again, in 1873, his choice being Miss Martha J.
Trimble, who still superintends their elegant house in a true womanly manner.
The Doctor is known as one of the best business men of the town, and, true to the line of
his descent, he sustains an important place in the business prosperity of the community as well as
holding a high place in the social circle.
