During the Civil War he served in Company K, 3rd Iowa Infantry Volunteers. He was wounded and taken prisoner at the Battle of Shiloh 6 Apr 1862 and paroled 12 Oct 1862 at Aikens Landing, Virginia. He later joined the 9th Iowa Cavalry and was mustered out with the rank of Major.

Married Susan Gage in 1869 from a Cedar Co., Iowa.

A copy of Susan's marriage to her 2nd husband, Elias S. Stover in 1873 can be found in a Morris Co., Kansas, marriage ledger which recorded this marriage as taking place in Cambridge, Middlesex, MA on 27 Oct 1873 by J.W[?]. Briggs, minister. I would be glad to send you a copy of these records.

Before his death at age 34, John Wayne became a prominent lumber merchant and citizen in Topeka and Emporia Kansas.
