GENERAL NOTES
He came to Minnesota in 1856.
The St. Paul newspaper traditionally listed members who won the election with party affiliation (Democrat or Republican). In 1862 they only identified the Democrats, the assumption is that the rest were Republicans. Since he wasn't identified as a Democrat, the assumption is that he was a Republican. (St. Paul Pioneer and Democrat, January 7, 1862)
He was wounded in the Battle of the Cedars near Murfreesboro, Tennessee and eventually died from that injury.
