Thomas was a carpenter, joiner and farmer.
It appears that, when he enlisted in the Army to serve in the Civil War, he gave his age as 44 years. However, since he was born about 1804, he would have actually been closer to 57 years old.
Anyway, he enlisted on 14 October 1861 as a Private in Co. C, &th New Hampshire Infantry. He received a disability discharge 10 months later, on 15 August 1862 in Beaufort, South Carolina (AMERICAN CIVIL WAR SOLDIERS. Ancesry.com, "Electronic").
Sarah Shattuck's marriage to Thomas was her fourth marriage. Previous marriages were to Samuel Hale (9 December 1810-17 April 1854) on 7 October 1846, a Mr. Rowell about 1857, and a Mr. Cram.

Louis attended public school in Newark, Illinois, until he was 16. For the next two years, he attended high school in Lake Forest. Back in Newark, he worked on farm for two years, then took a job as a clerk in a business house.
About a year after their marriage, Louis and Carrie moved to Hanson County, South Dakota, to be with ther parents (John and Lydia Courtwright Ruble). Louis bought 160 acres of land and started a farm. However, during the five years they were there, they were able to raise only one crop. They sold the farm for much less than they had paid for it, then returned to Illinois. Over the next three years, he worked as a farm hand for eighteen months, then in a store for eighteen months, and then rented a farm. His hard work enabled him to recover from the financial loss they'd sustained in South Dakota.
In 1898, Louis and two partners, Samuel Naden and W.A. Manchester, created the Millington Live Stock Company. It was a successful business for many years. In 1910, Louis was the manager of a grain elevator in Millington.
In 1900, he was the Census Enumerator for Newark Big Grove Township. He had been elected a member of the village board, and also had been deputy assessor of Big Grove Township.
Louis and Carrie were active members of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Newark.
