New York. January 2, 1824 and was
well along in his Tilth year. He was a
graduate of the Courtland academy,
ot Homer, New York, and after leaving
school was variously engaged for some
time, but Imally chose dentistry for a
life work. He commenced the practice

land, bur moved from there to Faliius
New York, in IStil. In ltsi4 he
entered the union army as member
of the 185th New York volunteer in
fantry. and was captain of Company
