Hi Dan, I did check the St,Charles Museum they don't have. I called several times to Frank Campo's suggestion no one ever answers. I should of written to them but,I got busy on other projects.I would have to find but, did have some correspondence about Charles T. and John F.Elliott going to the Aurora GAR for a special meeting 1890's.John F. was known to all as Capt. Elliott post war though his rank was 1st.Lt..The Capt. rank might well be through the Farnsworth branch of GAR.Or an honorary title.As you may know John and Charles were involved in many war related things after the war.As were many of the brothers.Civilian gov. too.I believe Charles T. a member of the Chicago (Grant?)GAR.Both men were involved heavily post war helping others of their commands/regiments get pensions etc..
