he went to work on the old B. c. & NJ.
Railroad, and he followed railroading as
track hand and stone mason for 16 years,
working for several companies, one of
which caused him to move to Allegheny,

railroads from Boston were gradually ex-
tended, he came with them and did con-
struction work. His last railroad work
was for the p. and o., in its construction
at Wolcott. He lived in Danville two
years before the war, then removed to

left thigh which he received that day.
His left leg was thus made three inches
shorter than the other Because of that
disability he was honorably discharged,
Oct 9, 1864. He always suffered much
pain from the wound, and it rendered
him almost helpless during the last three
years of his life. His son, William H.,
most tenderly cared for him during these
last years and through his final illness.
