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.
