That does not mean he did not serve as hisname could have been missed.

There is a more recent book that could be checked. I assumethe book would be in New York libraries. There are also therecords at the National Archives.

  	Joseph's first wife, Catherine, died in 1915. Although hername is not in the Rensselaer county interment list, thereis a record of Joseph purchasing a single burial lot in1915. This was in the Old cemetery. In 1943 it would appearhe was buried in the New cemetery.
