He located in Buffalo, New York, and within a short time enlisted for service in the Union Army in Company C, 116th Regiment New York Volunteer Infantry. He served with distinction until the close of the war and rendered is adopted country faithful service, although he had been in this country such a short time that he was hardly able to understand the commands which were given him by his officers. In 1866, he went to Cleveland, Ohio, to see his sister, Fredericka, and while visiting her, he decided to locate in Cleveland where he found a position as a blacksmith helper in the railroad shops of that city. He remained there five years, during which time he married. In 1871 he came to Harrison county, Iowa, and rented a farm with his cousin, Fred Bandlow. A year later, he bought 80 acres of land, only 20 acres of which had been broken by the plow. He built a small shack for a house and had a rude dugout for a barn, using straw for a roof. He paid ten dollars an acre for his land and, as he prospered from year to year, he improved his farm, built a good home, convenient and commodious barns, and when he retired in 1902, had a well-improved and highly productive farm. He was married in 1867 to Caroline Bandlow, who was born in Germany in 1843 and died in this county in 1912.
