A York lawyer during the Civil War, he welcomed home the 87th Regiment in September 1864, "We watched your career in the army, and sympathized with those whose friends have fallen in battle. Although we have not yet seen the end of the Rebellion, you have nobly performed your duty, and your services will be recorded on the bright pages of history, which shall chronicle the martial deeds of this era.
