Eli Griffith Sellers
Thanks to John F Cummings for supplying this picture from his collection!
Before the war
He was born about 1831/32 (38 [49 in 1880], 51 [28 in 1860], 52 [40 in 1870]). He was 74 years, 9 months, and 11 days old, when he died on 18 August 1905, which makes his birthday 7 November 1830 (80). He was born in Pennsylvania (38, 51, 52, 80).
In 1860, he was living in the 20th ward of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (51). He was a brass moulder, and had $200 in personal property (51). He was living with his wife Rebecca, and their children Charles, Ella, and Mary (51).
In June 1861, he was captain of the Putnam Guards, Company C of the Philadelphia Home Guards (from the Twentieth Ward) (36, 68). On 16 June 1861, members of his Home Guard company presented him with a foot officer's sword of a non-regulation type, "as a token of their esteem for him as an officer and a gentleman" (36).
Description
He was 5 foot, 5 inches tall (36).
During the war
He enlisted on 2 September 1861, at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (1, 43, 44 [9 Sep 61]). On 19 October 1861, he was captain of company G (69). He was mustered in as captain of company G on 2 December 1861, at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (31, 43, 46, 75).
When William Pritchett did not report for duty, after enlisting on 2 October 1861, and his parents offered a substitute, Sellers accepted the substitute, without authority (18).
At the end of November 1861, his company still had space for ten men (70).
On 29 June 1862, he, along with the other commissioned officers in the regiment (except Colonel Gregory), signed a statement denying accusations that they were on the verge of open mutiny, that the regiment had been reduced to 400 men, and that Colonel Gregory was too lenient to Confederates and too harsh to men in the regiment (58).
On 20 August 1862, he testified at the court martial of E Carroll Brewster (53). Since he had nothing relevant to say, his testimony was very brief (53).
He was absent with leave for ten days, beginning 3 March 1863 (35).
He fought at the Battle of Gettysburg (56).
He was a witness to the charges and specifications Joseph Sinex filed against Morris Kayser, and testified in the court martial of Morris Kayser, on 30 July 1863 (20, 37).
He was in command of the regiment on 21 August 1863 (16).
He led a detail on picket duty on 2 September 1863 (21). Lt Shipley was ordered to report to him on 18 September 1863 (22).
On 30 September 1863, he was present sick (39).
He accompanied details on picket duty on 7 October 1863 (40) and 14 November 1863 (23, 41).
As the senior captain, he served on a Board of Inspection, which reported on 19 November 1863 that the deficiency in rations was caused by spoilage and other unavoidable circumstances (17).
After the battle of Gettysburg, he developed rheumatic fever, and didn't return until December 1863. He was (briefly) in command of the regiment on 30 December 1863 (19).
On 21 June 1864, while Captain of company G, he took command of the left wing, as skirmishers, in front of Petersburg (1, page 192).
On 3 July, 4 July (5), and 5 July, he was commanding the regiment. On 10 July 1864, he was not commanding the regiment, but was assigned to command company D in addition to company G (29).
On 8 August 1864 (25), 9 August 1864, 10 August (49), 8 September 1864 (6), 14 September 1864 (7), and on 16 October 1864 (8), he was commanding the regiment.
He assumed command on 30 August 1864, replacing Lentz, who was absent sick (26).
On 27 September 1864, he was apparently commanding both the regiment and company G (30). Edward Maguigan was ordered to turn over surplus ordnance and stores to him and to two other officers (30).
The consolidated morning reports stop listing him as commanding the regiment on 19 October 1864 (54). However, on 21 October 1864, he was commanding the regiment when John Hamill was arrested for being drunk while in charge of the picket detail (50).
He was promoted on 31 October 1864 to lieutenant colonel (3, 43, 46, 47, 55).
He was in command of the regiment in January and March 1865 (various orders).
He was a witness to the charge preferred against Thomas Walter on 4 January 1865 (27), and to the charge preferred against John Blum in January 1865 (28).
On 27 January 1865, he and other officers met near Petersburg Virginia and adopted a testimonial to Captain James Closson, who had died in November 1864, of wounds received in action (5).
On 29 January 1865, he appointed John Donnell in command of the regiment, while Sellers was temporarily away (32). He began a leave on 29 January 1865, which expired on 13 February 1865 (34, citing SO 25 5th corps). John Donnell commanded the regiment at least from 31 January 1865 to 3 February 1865 (various letters).
On 13 March 1865, he was appointed to a division court martial (42). On 28 March 1865, this panel tried Joseph Gilbert (42).
Sellers was in command of the 91st PA on 25 March 1865, and reported the 91st's actions on that date (12). He was in command of the 91st PA and the 16th Michigan on 1 April 1865, and reported their actions then (13). But John Casner was commanding the regiment on 21 May 1865 (33), and on 1 June (orders)
He was in command during on 23 May 1865, during the Grand Review of the Army of the Potomac in May 1865 (73).
He mustered out on 10 July 1865 with the regiment (1, 43, 44).
He was in command of the regiment when it arrived in Philadelphia on 12 July 1865 (10, 11).
After the war
He lived in Philadelphia, and was an officer of the court, after the war (36).
In 1870, he was living in the 20th ward of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (52). He was a crier of the DIstrict Court (52). He owned $2500 in real estate, and $300 in personal property (52). He was living with his wife Rebecca, and children Charles, Ella, Mary, Eli, Howard, George, and Annie (52).
At a meeting of the 91st's survivors after Edgar Gregory's death, he was appointed to a committee to draft resolutions about Gregory's death (79). In November 1871, he was part of the committee assigned to write a constitution and by-laws for the 91st's Survivor's Association (57).
At the first meeting of the Survivor's Association, on 4 December 1871, he was elected Vice Presidence (74).
In 1880, he was a court crier, living in the 20th ward of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (38). His wife, Rebecca P Sellers, was 44, born in Pennsylvania, and keeping house (15, 38). Nine children were living with them (15, 38):
- Ella Sellers, 22, born in Pennsylvania, upholster
- Eli G Sellers Jr., 18, born in Pennsylvania, driver
- Howard S Sellers, 14, born in Pennsylvania, clerk in store
- George S Sellers, 13, born in Pennsylvania, at school
- Anna E Sellers, 10, born in Pennsylvania, at school
- Gertrude R Sellers, 9, born in Pennsylvania, at school
- Rosa S Sellers, 7, born in Pennsylvania, at school
- Grace Emma Sellers, 3, born in Pennsylvania
- Horace B Sellers, 1, born in Pennsylvania
During the 1883 Grand Army of the Republic encampment, at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, an EG Sellers took part in the program devoted to "fun and frolic", explaining "what he did three months after the war" (60). Unfortunately, the newspaper report I have doesn't say what he did (60).
He presided over the December 1883 meeting of the Survivor's Association, which met at Don Wallings Cafe (Broad and Penn Streets) (61).
He attended the 1884 meeting of the 91st's Survivor's Association, and was reelected President (9).
He was present at, and probably gave a speech at, the December 1885 meeting of the regiment's Survivor's Association, which was held at Don Wallings' restaurant (Broad and South Penn Square) (62).
In 1888, he spoke with William Reiff, who was visiting from somewhere in the western United States (48).
In February 1888, Eli Sellers was elected to the Council of Administration of the Pennsylvania encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic (66).
In 1889, he corrected the Philadelphia Inquirer's mistaken claim that he was commanding the 91st during the Battle of Gettysburg (76, 77).
In 1890, he was living at 1856 Marvine Street, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (44, 45). He was a deputy sheriff, and worked at 4 State House Row (45).
At the December 1896 meeting of the 91st's Survivors' Association, he was elected President (63).
At the December 1897 meeting of the 91st's Survivors' Association, he was reelected as President (64).
He applied successfully from Pennsylvania for a pension on 19 July 1901 (2, 14, 81).
In 1903, JHR Storey claimed that Sellers admitted that he "got even with" "those Christian Association fellows in our regiment", whom he called "Gregory's pets" (78). "[W]hen I got the chance I downed them, and when I became lieutenant-colonel I did get it" (78). Storey claimed that the 91st was split between religious men and others when it was organized, and that Sellers came to head the others (78).
He died on 18 August 1905, at 1856 Marvine Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, of locomotor ataxia, with nephritis and heart failure contributing (2 [1906?], 36, 59, 80, 81). The funeral was held on Tuesday, 22 August 1905, at 1856 N Marvine Street (59, 80). Members of various organizations were invited to attend the funeral, including Post 2 of the GAR (59). He was buried at Mechanics' Cemetery (59, 80).
His estate was admitted to probate in September 1905 (67).
His widow, Rebecca Sellers, applied successfully from Pennsylvania for a pension (2, 14, 81).
