Shannon joined Company E, 120th Infantry Regiment of Ohio Volunteers, in 1862, with his brother Jacob. They participated in the assault and capture of Fort Hindman, Arkansas Post. For his actions Shannon was given a promotion to corporal. Shortly after their regiment moved to Young's Point, LA, both of them died of disease while aboard the hospital boat "Nashville".
