His records provide that he was certified to be unable to perform his duties due to a spinal injury caused by the concussion from "bursting of a shell at Gaine's Mill." June 27, 1862. He enlisted May 13, 1861 as a Private at Salem, Virginia and was detailed as Hospital Steward, elected Jr. 2nd Lieutenant April 28,1862.

There are some 21 cards in his service record file which may be obtained through the service noted above.

Service as a Hospital Steward would suggest that he may have been a medical student or a pharmacist/student when he enlisted.
