In May, 1861, he moved to Montgomery and clerked in the hardware store of Wyman, Moses & company until the organization of the forty-sixth Alabama Regiment, which he entered as a private in Capt. James W. Powell's company. Later, he was commissioned by the Confederate government for special work in Canada and the West Indies, and was so engaged in Canada at the close of the war. He returned to Montgomery in 1865, had entered the real estate and insurance business is a member of the firm of Roberts, Moses and company.
