In the photo, "John stands to speak in support of Native Americans, during a debate near Lamar, MO, 1885. John loved and supported them most of his life."
John and his family moved from KY to a plantation in Clay Co., MO; the Union Army, under Gen. Eirwin (a cousin of Gen. Sherman), burned their home when John was 16. His parents hid in the cellar and died from exposure. The Family scattered, and John joined the Southern Army but spent most of the Civil War years in prison.
He married his 1st wife who died young and left John with 3 teenage children: Tony, Sally, and Sam Roselle. He then took his 3 children to homestead in northwest AR where he met and married before 1897 in Newton Co., AR, his 2nd wife, Lucy Emaline Whiteley, daughter of Andrew J. Whiteley Sr. and Phoebe Allred, b. 21 Mar 1868 and died between 1954/55 in Okmulgee, OK; they had 4 children: Mayme, Nancy who married Clarence Hubbell, John, Albert, and Martha Roselle who was born 3 mos. after John had died.
John was a lay preacher in the Campbellite Church and was well educated. While moving his wife to Guthrie, OK, they passed through Fort Gibson to spend some time with his twin sister, Margaret Roselle O'Dell, and John became ill and died in 1901 at Fort Gibson, Indian Territory.
