Eldon, I have the cemetery book for the Veterans Home & this is what I found for STEPHEN S. THRASH: Number: 4299 Name: Stephen S. Trash Rank: Cpl. Co.: H Regt.: 87th State: IL. Branch: Inf. Birth: 12-11-1834 Death: 07-08-1911 Buried in: Div. 1 Row 15 Hope this helps & you may be able to write the State of Il. or The Veterans Home for his military record if this is the right one. Good Luck in your research. Bobbie
