Before the war, Ingraham lived with his parents George W. and Electa Ingraham and three sisters in Amenia, New York. Aaron, the eldest son, supplemented his work on the family farm with teaching to help alleviate the family's financial problems. Ingraham entered the army as a corporal with Co. F of the 48th New York Infantry and, in July of 1863, became the acting quartermaster of Co. C while stationed at Fort Pulaski, Georgia. He achieved the rank of first lieutenant during his service.
