I looked in Vol. IV p1133 of Hinshaw's Encyclopedia of Quaker Genealogy
and find two entries
1859, 1,18 Linnsaus D s John W and Mary b.
1887 2,21 Linnsaus D dis mcd. (disowned for marrying contrary to discipline)
It looks like he was a birthright member of Plymouth MM in Jefferson
County, OH and had not moved his membership, thus the monthly meeting to
deal with the issue. Dan gave a good explanation as to why it may have
taken the time it did.

There are several unknowns. One being did he ever go back to Ohio for a
time, (maybe just for a visit), after they married and then returned to
Iowa? People did do that back then and there were trains in this time
period. A visit might be how the monthly meeting came to learn about
his marriage outside of the Quaker faith. You know how people like to
spread the latest news.
