The military census is on microfilm at the Illinois State Historical Library and may be borrowed through any local lending library. If you have a question if the spelling could be something else, send your suggestions/questions to the proofer, Dorothy, who has the printed microfilmed pages 1,000 miles away from the transcriber. If you need a copy of a page for DAR certification, etc., just ask, perhaps we'll get something useable.
