He was assigned to the staff of Gen. W. F. (Baldy) Smith, and was by the side of his gen- eral before Petersburgh (June 30, 1864) when he received a wound in the knee which proved fatal. Immediately after being wounded he started for New Hampshire. Amputation became necessary. He was unable to survive its effects, and d. at his home in Bennington, July 30, 1864.
In a letter of condolence to his father, written after midnight of the day he was wounded, General Smith says : "Your son has been with me since the campaign opened, and has been to me a most faithful and gallant aid, and I have frequently selected him to carry messages when I knew it would take all his courage and God's Providence to get the message delivered. I am the more called upon by my feelings to write this letter to you to-night, be- cause he followed me to-day after my staff had all been ordered back, and I can only add that any father may well be proud of such a son, and where such men are in abundance there is no fear of the ultimate result."
