Co.I 11 Iowa Inft (KS) Belleville Telescope Sept. 5, 1889 DEATH OF OLD SETTLER Died at his home in Albion, Republic County Kan., Aug. 29, 1889, Mr. James Sellers, age 61 years, 6 months and 5 days. Mr. Sellers died of cancer. For nearly two years he has suffered untold misery. Mr. Sellers was born Feb. 21, 1828, in Hamilton, County, Ohio; was married in Newton, Iowa, in 1854 to Miss Elizabeth McMellen. When the rebellion broke out he enlisted and was under Grant at Fort Henry and Fort Donaldson, and on up to Pittsburg Landing, and was taken prisoner at Shiloh and kept in a field all night under guard where the mud was knee deep. He was shifted about for four months and in four different rebel pens; kept on a small amount of rations in a half starved state until he was nearly as poor when liberated as he was at his death. His food while in the hands of the merciless keepers consisted of a coarse chop, not baked, but dried, and thrown to them on the ground, to be picked up and eaten. He came to Kansas nineteen years ago last May, and has seen the grasshopper and the drought. He was a man of fortitude and none of these things moved him. He was followed to his last resting place by a large concourse of neighbors and friends. The funeral services were conducted by the writer, assisted by Rev. J. N. Ryan in the Ida church, test from Job 7-6: "My days are swifter then a weaver's shuttle." He leaves a wife and eight children. ____________________________________________________________________________
