John served in the 8th Maine Infantry Regiment during the Civil War. He enlisted at Augusta 7 September 1861 at the age of 28.
The regiment left Maine on 10 September and, after arriving in Virginia, became a part of Gen, T.W. Sherman's expedition to Port Royal, South Carolina. For several months, the Maine men were engaged in building fortifications there. Then on 1 May 1862, they were a part of the force that captured Fort Pulaski near Savannah, Georgia. For the next two years, until the spring of 1864, the unit was employed for the most part in doing guard duty at Hilton Head and Beaufort, South Carolina, and Jacksonville, Florida. In March of 1864, the men of the 8th Maine received a furlough of 35 days, and returned to their homes for some rest and relaxation. Upon their return to duty, in April of 1864, the Maine regiment was transferred to Virginia, where they took part in all of the operations of the Army of the James. Among the battles engaged in were Drewry's Bluff (16 May 1864) and Ware Bottom Church, during which battle John was among the Maine men killed in action on 20 May 1864.

Portions of Tenie's obituary appear in THE HISTORY OF THE SCRIBNER FAMILIES [op.cit.], page 96, as follows:
"By her exceptionably noble qualities she endeared herself to all of the people in the town where she lived. In the Patten, Me., Congregational Church and Sunday School her loss is keenly felt, while too much cannot be said of her helpfulness for the sick and afflicted. True to her convictions of right she never hesitated to do her duty regardless of self, and many loving hearts pay tribute to her memory."
