The Portland Observer, Thursday, January 8, 1920
Death again invaded the ranks of the rapidly disappearing Grand Army of the Republic in Portland Friday, when Louis C. Jolly, a veteran of Company G, 10th Michigan Infantry, and a helpless invalid for several years, breathed his last. Mr. Jolly had been in ill health for eight years and in that time had often been at death's door, only to rally again and be quite himself for brief
intervals. He suffered from paralysis, which affected his entire left side, and his case was long ago given up as hopeless.
Mr. Jolly was a native of the state of New Jersey but came to Portland when he was very young, enlisting in the Union army from this village. He served all through the rebellion and in 1867, after his return from the service, he married Miss Ellen Manning, of Portland. He leaves three children, Mrs. Edward Watkins, of Portland, Mrs. Rufus Reed, of Lansing, and Fred Jolly, of
Bozeman, Montana. All of the children were present at the funeral services Sunday, which were held at the late residence, Rev. Truman F. Galt, of the Congregational church, officiating. Burial took place in the Portland cemetery.
