between 1852 and 1868. While in Philadelphia, he resided with the Britton family, in Southwark Wards 2 and 4 of the city,

Bottles enlisted in the United States Navy in 1863 and became a yeomen for the USS Saratoga. After being discharged in 1864,
he returned to Philadelphia in poor health, assumed to be suffering from "rheumatism," and did not work for at least a year
before returning to the lithographic trade. By the fall of 1868 Bottles had moved to Lockport, New York where in 1870 he resided
with presumably wife Mary, despite his listing as single in his application to the Home for Disabled Soldiers in Marion, Indiana
in 1892. Bottles died on May 12, 1900 and is buried in the Marion National Cemetery.
