His war record states that he was 5' 9" tall, fair complexion, hazel eyes and light hair . the record also states that John was in camp at Fort Smith and received word that his father and two brothers had been killed by bushwhackers at and their families had been robbed of their food and clothing .

There is a letter that said John came home on furlough near the close of the war to see his family and was killed the next day by Querrill bushwackers. he was reported by by enemies to be a deserter but his old widow of this place now 82 years old declares he was not.

Hear is a story out of the book Standridge, sent in by Evelyn Flood , in C.L. Boyd book The Hanging in Limestone Valley , Newton County, Arkansas - May 29, 1863. Sent in By Evelyn Flood as printed in the Newton County Family History. On March 24, 1863, Captain J. R. Vanderpool of Company C, 1st. Arkansas Infantry (under Colonel James M. Johnson) was ordered from Fayetteville, Arkansas, along with Captain Abial Stevens of Company E, 1st. Regular Arkansas Infantry and a group of men to go to Newton County for scouting. They encountered many Confederate forces and retreated to the post at Fayetteville, leaving several union men behind. When these men returned to Fayetteville, they found that the post had been evacuated on April 16, 1863. They were then at high risk of being captured by Confederates and had to hide. those known to be left behind were Gilbert Smith, David Flood, James Smith, (Gilbert's brother and David's brother-in-law), John Standridge, Kelsey Gilmore, O. C. Bright and possibly others. All of these men were taken prisoner, plus David's neighbor, Berry Stone (who may have hidden these men) . Someone had a knife and some of the men cut themselves loose and escaped. David Flood, his brother-in-law James Smith , and Berry Stone were hanged by Confederates on the same tree, supposedly in Linestone Valley. " you could see the rope marks one year later, " according to one source. When David Flood was taken prisoner, his wife Martha followed after the men pleading; but they were hanged anyway. John Standridge and the others returned to their command. John Standridge later heard of his father's & brothers death and returned to Newton County to help find them food, clothing and protect his family. He was also killed by the bushwhackers on February 19, 1865. his widow was unable to draw his pension since he had been absent without leave.
