On September 12, 1862, he re-enlisted in Company "F", Sixth Missouri Cavalry. He was enlisted by Colonel Coffee in Newton County, Missouri. Both John Shrum, and his son, Jacob, are listed as privates, Company "F", Hooper's Regiment, with residence in Dade County, Missouri. They appear on the Roll of Prisoners of War when the regiment was surrendered on May 26, 1865 at New Orleans, Louisiana, by General E. K. Smith to Major General E. R. S. Canby, U. S. Army. The prisoners were paroled (released) a few weeks later on June 14th, 1865, at Shreveport, Louisiana. John Shrum became sick with fever and chills, and died while en-route home to Missouri.
