Alexander Arthur Sellman, the fifth child of Henry and Susanna Shaw Sellman, was born April 1, 1837 in Cross Plains, Indiana. At the age of nine, he lost his mother. Henry remarried to Elizabeth Vail, who helped raise Alex as her own.

In 1859, Henry, Elizabeth and Alex moved to Roseville, Illinois, where they lived for ten years.

On March 31, 1861, Alex married Lucelia Agatha Rice. Their first child, Rosella, was born January 26, 1862.

Alex joined the 83rd Illinois Infantry on August 8, 1862, and was wounded in the left breast by an accidental discharge of a musket on a boat heading towards his first assignment. The wound wasn't severe enough to end his service, but it lead to a lifetime of pain and disability. Alex was detailed as a clerk for Inspector of Post at the Headquarters of the 1st Brigade, 3rd Division reporting to Captain Noble in Clarksville, Tennessee. Alex was discharged on July 4, 1865 in Chicago, Illinois.

Alex returned home to farm the land he owned with his father. He and Lucelia had four more children, Arthur Alexander (born September 22, 1866), Henry Oscar (born Jun 10, 1867), Samuel S. (born 1869), and Edgar Benjamin (born 1871).

About 1870, Alex and family moved to Jasper County, Iowa.

In 1877, in a pension application, Alex was described as six feet tall, light complexion, brown hair, and grey eyes. The family moved to Audubon County, Iowa that same year.

In September, 1888, in a declaration for pension increase, he weighed 156 lbs., was almost blind in the left eye, couldn't hear out of his left ear, and couldn't tighten his left hand onto anything.

In October, 1888, they moved to Keya Paha County, Nebraska.

In an affidavit, Alex stated that because of his disability, he taught school, grew fruit, and was a grocer at various times in his life. Alex's disability worsened to a point where he left his family in October, 1891 & checked himself into the Iowa State Veterans Home in Marshalltown, Iowa.

On March 3, 1892, Alex and Lucelia were divorced.

In April 1894, Alex was discharged from the Iowa State Veterans Home, and on September 29, 1894, he was admitted to the Northwest branch of the National Soldier's Home in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. On April 3, 1895, he was discharged at his own request.

On April 10, 1895, Alex married Hulda A. Martin in Chicago, Illinois.

On September 23, 1895, he was again admitted back into the Northwest branch. Alex spent time in the Mountain Branch Veteran Soldiers Home in Johnson City, Tennessee, the Danville Illinois National Soldiers Home, and finally at the Southern Branch in Hampton, Virginia.

Alex died July 7, 1923 in Hampton, Virginia from chronic interstitial nephritis. He was buried at the Hampton National Cemetery in Hampton, Virginia on July 11, 1923.

Alexander Arthur Sellman, the fifth child of Henry and Susanna Shaw Sellman, was born April 1, 1837 in Cross Plains, Indiana. At the age of nine, he lost his mother. Henry remarried to Elizabeth Vail, who helped raise Alex as her own.

In 1859, Henry, Elizabeth and Alex moved to Roseville, Illinois, where they lived for ten years.

On March 31, 1861, Alex married Lucelia Agatha Rice. Their first child, Rosella, was born January 26, 1862.

Alex joined the 83rd Illinois Infantry on August 8, 1862, and was wounded in the left breast by an accidental discharge of a musket on a boat heading towards his first assignment. The wound wasn't severe enough to end his service, but it lead to a lifetime of pain and disability. Alex was detailed as a clerk for Inspector of Post at the Headquarters of the 1st Brigade, 3rd Division reporting to Captain Noble in Clarksville, Tennessee. Alex was discharged on July 4, 1865 in Chicago, Illinois.

Alex returned home to farm the land he owned with his father. He and Lucelia had four more children, Arthur Alexander (born September 22, 1866), Henry Oscar (born Jun 10, 1867), Samuel S. (born 1869), and Edgar Benjamin (born 1871).

About 1870, Alex and family moved to Jasper County, Iowa.

In 1877, in a pension application, Alex was described as six feet tall, light complexion, brown hair, and grey eyes. The family moved to Audubon County, Iowa that same year.

In September, 1888, in a declaration for pension increase, he weighed 156 lbs., was almost blind in the left eye, couldn't hear out of his left ear, and couldn't tighten his left hand onto anything.

In October, 1888, they moved to Keya Paha County, Nebraska.

In an affidavit, Alex stated that because of his disability, he taught school, grew fruit, and was a grocer at various times in his life. Alex's disability worsened to a point where he left his family in October, 1891 & checked himself into the Iowa State Veterans Home in Marshalltown, Iowa.

On March 3, 1892, Alex and Lucelia were divorced.

In April 1894, Alex was discharged from the Iowa State Veterans Home, and on September 29, 1894, he was admitted to the Northwest branch of the National Soldier's Home in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. On April 3, 1895, he was discharged at his own request.

On April 10, 1895, Alex married Hulda A. Martin in Chicago, Illinois.

On September 23, 1895, he was again admitted back into the Northwest branch. Alex spent time in the Mountain Branch Veteran Soldiers Home in Johnson City, Tennessee, the Danville Illinois National Soldiers Home, and finally at the Southern Branch in Hampton, Virginia.

Alex died July 7, 1923 in Hampton, Virginia from chronic interstitial nephritis. He was buried at the Hampton National Cemetery in Hampton, Virginia on July 11, 1923.

Arthur was born September 22, 1866 in Roseville, Warren County, Illinois to Alexander and Lucelia Agatha Rice Sellman. In 1870, the family moved to Jasper County, Iowa, then to Audubon County, Iowa. In the early 1880's, the family moved once again to Keya Paha County, Nebraska, where Arthur lived for almost twenty years. During part of that time, he worked in mines. On March 31, 1897, he married Lennie Leota Knapp, and they had six children: Troy, Arthur, Leota, Chance, Jesse & Dorothy. Around 1904, he moved the family to Hastings, Nebraska where he took over the clothing store his mother and step-father had owned. He turned the back of it into a pool hall. On April 14, 1914, the family moved to Keota, Keokuk County, Iowa, where Arthur, Troy and Arthur worked at laying gas pipelines outside Keota. Arthur believed that his sons should stand up straight, and he would poke them in the back if they started to slouch. Arthur used to put a cigar in the corner of his mouth, but didn't smoke it, which eventually led to carcinoma of the face. He lived in the Keokuk County Home until the cancer spread enough that they asked him to leave. He died in a tent just outside of Harper, Keokuk County, Iowa, and was buried in the Keokuk County Home cemetery that night.
