Hello Listers; I have another question. :) How does one find out about someone who was taken as a prisoner? What prison and if he lived and was released or died in prison? The following information is from July 8, 1875 and July 22, 1875 Taken From the Henry Republican, in Henry, IL. Pool, Henry CPL, Co D 47th IL US INF.....taken prisoner. Any ideas how I can learn of the fate of this man? Again, thanks for your help. Mikki Judge Family Historian - Preserving the past for the future.

Hi Mikki, This goes to show that no general question is to difficult to find an answer for. Your Henry Pool was imprisoned at Andersonville. I do Vounteer research there and have found him listed among the dead. Here is what the online database shows at Andersonville. Only different information is that his rank doesnt match. If you have the middle name or initial of yours...this will verify it is the same you are looking for. Your thoughts??

I know that someone is going to ask this, so . . . Scorbutus is scurvy, or vitamin C deficiency.
