He served in Civil War Co. F., 11th Missouri Inft.
He married Jacqueline Jane "Jenny" Wilcox, 19 Apr 1860. Lawrence Co, Missouri.

While serving as part of the Missouri Confederate Infantry, Job became a prisoner of war. He was paroled in 1865 and began the long walk home. He has documented a bit of his time in the Civil War and the walk home in a diary.
Some family members liked to tell tails of him being a war hero who came riding home on a big white horse. More than likely he simply walked all the way home, but you can never tell, maybe he stopped at a neighbors or friends house and borrowed a horse? Its a fun story never the less.
