In the battle of Britton's Lane I was wounded three times, 

 one ball passing throuph my left lunjf, on account of which I was 

 discharged in 1863. I then returned to Mercer county and pur- 

 chased a farm in Millersburg township. Married in 1864, raised 

 three children, one daughter and two sons; both sons went 

 through the State University of Nebraska. The oldest served 

 in the 1st Nebraska, in the Philippine Islands, was wounded 

 and promoted to 1st Lieut, of Co. C. The second son is in Denver, 

 Col., in commercial business. I was elected sheriff of Mercer 

 county, 111., in 1868 and served four years. Moved to Nebraska 

 in 1873, located on tbe old Fort Kearney site— the old historical 

 place of the state, and engaged in farming and raising fine stock. 

 Served two terms in the legislature of Xebraska as sergeant-at-

 affects heart action. Have retired from the farm and will try to 

 take it easy.
