| In October of 1861, Solomon Altman enlisted in the Ohio Voluntary Infantry. After organization and training in Portsmouth, the regiment began moving south to Kentucky and beyond in February of 1862. At this point, Joseph (age 13) may still have been living and working on his father's farm along with his cousin Zachariah Miles (age 15), perhaps with help from his sisters Lucinda (age 15) and Sarah Ann (age 9) and mother. However, the family also included young children: cousins David (age 6) and Phoebe (age 4), and infant step-brother Zachariah (age 6 mos.). Joseph's family may have gotten some help neighbors and relations, but the Civil War entailed much hardship and distress for families as well as brutal violence and decimating disease for combatants. | In October of 1861, Joseph's stepfather, Solomon Altman, enlisted in the Ohio Voluntary Infantry.

| In July of 1862, property from the estate of Joseph's father Joshua was offered for sale in a public auction arranged by the estate administrator Foster Throckmorton (brother of Joseph's mother Narcissus). This may have a blow to young Joseph, who might have expected in his younger years to grow up working on his father farm and later owning land of his own through inheritance or parental assistance. Instead, Joseph's teen years were probably clouded by uncertainty and anxiety about the weeks and months ahead as well as the more distant future. The 1860s were hard times. | In July of 1862, property from the estate of Joseph's father Joshua was offered for sale in a public auction arranged by the estate administrator Foster Throckmorton (brother of Joseph's mother Narcissus).
