The 119th Illinois Voluntary Infantry is "today" being organized in Quincy, Illinois, with troops from Adams, Schyler, Brown, Montgomery, McDonough and Hancock Counties.
By now my great grandfather will have enlisted for three years or until war's end.
The 119th will be mustered next week.
They will serve honorably.

My ancestors on my direct paternal line at this time are scattered from eastern Pennsylvania through Indiana and Ohio. I wish I had some information about them. Surely some members of the noble Deardorff clan were in the struggle to preserve the Union. And/or to end slavery.

Western boys, and they will soon give you a belly full of fighting.

Greetings Joe. Nice to see you e.
The ‘’front’’ has been kind of quiet. All the resident “Johnny Rebs’’ have gone to ground.
