Thank you so much. Yes he was young. But family says he did join and serve there at that time. And then the way he died was tragic. In 1905 he went from Allen Co. OH to Union Co. NM to meet his brother and buy some cattle for a ranch. Apparently he accidently stepped in front of a moving train (in the cattle yard ?) and "was frightfully mangled" according to his obit. Yikes!
