We saw this verb in the previous article if you remember along with similar verbs (Read here).

служить человечеству – serve humanity

Состоял. – This verb can’t stand on its own. However, here, this must be “состоял в рядах” (was/became a member of). A member of what? It could be the ВЛКСМ – The All-Union Leninist Young Communist League (usually known as Komsomol) which was the youth division of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

жениться – to get married

Он женился на ней. – He got married to her.

Имеет – This is to do with kids.
