>From "History of Gentry and Worth Counties [Missouri], 1882--

CHRIS. SELLERS

the son of Chris. and Susan Sellers, was born in Greene County,
Pennsylvania, June 9, 1839, and lived there until he reached his tenth year,
when in the spring of 1849, his parents removed to Morrow County, Ohio. Here
he was reared and educated, attending the school at Sparta. Enlisting in the
Union Army in July, 1862, he served for about three years in Company L, One
Hundred and Twenty-First Ohio Volunteer Infantry. His regiment was in some
of the hottest engagements of the war, and he was present at the battles of
Perryville, Lookout Mountain, Mission Ridge, and others. He also
participated in the capture of Atlanta, and was with Sherman in his famous
march to the sea. Thence he went northward to Washington, taking part in the
grand review, and was discharged at Columbus, Ohio, in the summer of 1865.
Returning home, Mr. Sellers remained till the following spring, when he
emigrated to Gentry County, Missouri, and engaged in teaching for several
years, finally purchasing the farm and settling where he now resides, in
section 13. He owns 205 acres of land, with good house, orchard, barn, etc.
He is a self made man, having amassed a comfortable little fortune, and at
the same time gained an enviable reputation for honesty and integrity.

[The Susan Sellers, his mother, must be the first wife of Christian Sellers,
Susannah Fry. The second wife is Sarah Braddock].
