He married Anna L. Moon. His obit, from the Marion Sentinel, Thursday, November 3, 1927: ANOTHER OLD SOLDIER GONE J.W. JELLISON ANSWERS FINAL SUMMONS Went Into The Army As A Boy And Reinlisted In Regular Army After War Was Over. Lived In County More Than Fifty Years--Other Deaths Another Civil War veteran has been transferred to the department on the other side. J.W. Jellison died at eleven o'clock Monday at his home, 220 Eighth Street, after twenty five years residence in Marion, and as many more in this vicinity. The funeral services was conducted yesterday afternoon from the Methodist church with Rev. W.C. Perdew officiating, and was largely attended, the members of the W.R.C. attending in a body. The Legion furnished a firing squad and taps were sounded at the grave. Burial was made in Oak Shade cemetery. Mr. Jellison was born in York county, Maine, November 18, 1847, and when but fifteen responded to Abraham Lincoln's call and served his country, enlisting first in company E, 27th Maine Volunteer Infantry, on September 5th, 1862, and later in Company K Ninth Maine Volunteer Infantry. Two of his brothers were killed in the service [note: Only 1 was killed: Joseph R Jellison, brother Norris was wounded but survived]. In 1867 he enlisted in Company E, [31st/later 21st] U.S. Infantry and put in three years of hard service with Uncle Sam's regulars, fighting the Indians out on the far flung border lines, one time being with one survivor in a surprise that wiped out his detachment. He footed it across sixty five miles of desert with one canteen of water, and another time marched three hundred miles barefoot. It was after such experiences that he came to Iowa in 1870 and the next year at Delmar Junction married Anna F. Moon. Besides his wife four sons and one daughter survive him--Ed and Frank of Marion, George of La Fayette, Bert of Montana, and Mrs. Edna Walker of Sparks, Okla. There are twenty two grandchildren, and four great grandchildren. A brother, Morse(sic - this is Norris) Jellison, ran a shoe shop in Marion but died a few years ago. Mr. Jellison first learned the shoe trade but later took up farming. He was a member of the local post, but the last four years has been unable to attend. His death leaves the post with five members.
