During the war he took an active part, and won an honorable record. He was First Lieut. of Co. D., 27th Iowa Vols. Infantry. At the election of 1877, he was elected Representative from Clayton County and was highly spoken of by all who know him as a young man of excellent ability as a statesman and legislator.
