In 1862 the world changed for the country and the father of four, war broke out; not from some foreign invader; but amongst our neighbors and brethren.  This War would pit brother against brother and neighbor against neighbor, it would test the countries democratic principles to their core.  Could the idea that gave birth to the Republic, survive and if it did would it be always fractured.  Today in the 21st Century we still debate and review the causes, battles, results and cost of this war that almost destroyed the nation.  But for those who heard the call of the nation at the time of strife, paid the ultimate price in service this Great Nation.  It is to them that we owe a debt to, to remember the price they paid in blood, and lives.  Aaron enlisted the 3rd of August 1862.  According to Civil War personnel records Aaron was a Commissioned Officer, as a Second Lieutenant Ranked In and a Captain Ranked Out.  He first was in Company A, Indiana 86th Infantry Regiment.  He also served in Company F, 148th Indiana Infantry Regiment.

Aaron survived the war, but he passed away  16 Jan 1869, at the age of 38.  He is buried in Howard Cemetery, his obelisk is engraved with his information on the north side of the stone.
