He was married to Miss Ada Carruthers in 1889. Eight children wre born to them, all of whom are living. One sister, Mrs. Sarah Pitt of Downs, Kansas, survives. John Else came to Iowa in 1887. He had previously resided in Kansas 14 years. While in the army he was a portion of the time a prisoner in Andersonville prison. His funeral was the largest that had been held in that part of the county for a long time, and many of his old neighbors attended the burial at the Liming cemetery who could not attend the funeral.
