List of McHenry County Civil War Veterans in 1903

From Historic Encyclopedia of Illinois and Biography of McHenry County Citizens.

Colonel William Avery, 95th Illinois

George W. Ames, 95th Illinois

Lathrop H.S. Barrows, 15th Illinois

Gordon Lucius Beckley, 52nd Illinois

John Edmund Beckley, 95th Illinois

Henry Bright, 95th, Illinois

Eli T. Chase, no regiment given but enlisted Aug. 6, 1864

Ira Rozel Curtis, Co. D, 15th Illinois

John S. Cummings, Co. A, 1st Illinois Light Artillery.  Captured July 22, 1864 and sent to Andersonville.

I only researched the book up to this last man.  An extensive military service was given for each man, by I only did one that I found at random, which will be in my next post.  Colonel Avery was quite involved in post-war veteran affairs along with being the commander of the the 95th Illinois, which was McHenry County's regiment.
