Orlando[Ellsworth]was reared and married in Otsego county [new York], but is numbered among Wisconsin's honored pioneers, having located in Milwaukee county in the summer
of 1836, when Milwaukee was but an Indian village. He, too, was honored by his fellow townsmen by an election to the State Legislature, on the Republican ticket, for the term of 1857-8. A loyal, patriotic citizen, he at once responded to his country's call for troops at the breaking out of the Civil war, raised a company of volunteers and was elected its Captain. It became Company K, of the Twenty-fourth Wisconsin Infantry, which in September, 1862, went to the front with the Army of the Tennessee. Captain Ellsworth commanded his company until stricken by disease, when he was honorably discharged. He then took up his residence in Iowa Falls, Iowa, where he made his home until his death, which
occurred on the 27th of June, 1872.
