John F. Smith enlisted as a Private in Captain George W. Fanning's Company F, 101st Regiment of Illinois Volunteers on 7 August 1862 at Murrayville, Scott County, Illinois. He was 19 years old at the time and was mustered into active service on 2 September 1862 at Jacksonville, Morgan County, Illinois. John was mustered out of service at Quincy, Illinois on 22 June 1865 by order of the War Department dated 3 May 1865 and was still a Private. During his time in the service, he was wounded in action on 15 May 1864 at Resaca, Gordon County, Georgia which is near Dalton, Georgia. He was shot through the right thigh behind the femur and the ball severed several leaders. Gangrene attacked the surface of the wound causing considerable sloughing of the flesh. He was sent to a hospital in Quincy, Illinois where he remained until he was mustered out of service. On 27 September 1865, John was declared to be one-half disabled due to his wound and was awarded a pension of $4.00/month by the government. At this time, his address was Winchester, Scott County, Illinois. During his time in the service, he was also treated for rheumatism and chronic diarrhea (soldier's disease). On the march from Chattanooga to Knoxville, he was under treatment for diarrhea and after their return to Chattanooga for diarrhea and piles.
