He enlisted 19 Aug 1861 at Lapeer, MI, and mustered into G Co. of MI 7th Infantry on 22 Aug 1861. Records indicate that he served as a private in the 12th and 13th regiments. Aaron died of disease in Washington, D. C. while serving in Civil War. He was placed on Honor Roll of Soldiers who died in Defense of the Union. Aaron was buried in U.
