85 ILLINOIS INFANTRY, CO. I

Reference: History of the 85th Illinois Volunteers
Illinois Volunteer Infantry

CORPORAL MILO BUTLER, aged twenty-nine, single, farmer, born in Coshocton county, Ohio; removed to Illinois, and enlisted from Kerton. He was chosen corporal at the organization of the company; served to the close of the war, and was mustered out with the regiment.

Company I was enrolled by William H. Marble under date of August 1, 1862, in that part of Fulton county bordering on the Illinois river. The records of the company show that there were carelessly kept, and are very defective in many respects.

The company was organized at Marble's mills by the election of the following commissioned officers: William H. Marble, captain; David M. Holstead, first lieutenant, and Hugh McHugh, second lieutenant.

One man was killed in action, and 12 were wounded who lived beyond the close of the war, 4 officers resigned, 2 were mustered out with the regiment and one was promoted, 18 men were discharged, 11 died of disease, 5 were transferred and 21 returned home at the close of the war.

In the individual sketches which follow an attempt is made to give a concise statement of the history of each member of the company, each of whom may look back with pride upon the results of the war, and rejoice in the fact that it was his privilege to bear an honorable part in the great struggle for freedom.

Boone County Democrat January 6, 1911
M.A. Butler, well known to the people of this city, particularly the older residents, died at the Eastern Star Home on Wednesday afternoon. The deceased has been ill for some time and was brought to the home last September. Recently he contracted pneumonia and this caused his death. The deceased was for many years proprietor or the old Butler House and from him the hotel received its name. Later he removed from Boone and was for several years a resident of the south, living for a time at Anniston, Alabama. A nephew of the deceased lives in South Bend, Indiana, and arrangements for the funeral are dependent upon him. In our next issue we will give an obituary of the life of the deceased.
