This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: McGinnis Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Jg.2ADI/1191.1.1.1.2.1 Message Board Post: In the early days of the Civil War, Joseph McGinnis enlisted as a private in Company B, 46th Illinois US Infantry. His unit was enrolled on 10 September 1861at Freeport Illinois. Joseph was mustered into Federal service on 14 September 1861 at Camp Butler, Illinois. This was an Army training camp in Sangamon County, near Springfield. Joseph died at Camp Butler during his training. I have not located a cause of death. He was probably buried in the Clay Cemetery, Jo Daviess Co., IL, as there is a marker there for him. The distance from Camp Butler is not great, so his body could have been shipped home. James McGinnis was living in Brunswick Township, Eau Claire Co., Wisconsin, when he enlisted in Company C, 8th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry on 1 August 1861 at Eau Claire, Wisconsin. He was mustered into Federal service at Camp Randall near Madison Wisconsin on 9 September 1861. He was listed as being 19, married, born in Indiana, grayish eyes, dark hair light complexion, 5 ft. 9 in., occupation of farmer. He was appointed the first bearer of Company C's mascot, a juvenile bald eagle, Old Abe. James was bearer of the eagle during actions in Fredrickstown MO, Point Pleasant MO, New Madrid and Island No. 10, TN, and Farmington MS. Although the 8th Wis. saw action in these, none were major all-out battles. James became ill, the major cause of casualties in the 8th Wis., in May 1862. He may have been in other military hospitals for which I have no record. He was in Seminary Hospital at Jackson Tennessee when he died on 19 September 1862. He was buried in the military cemetery at Corinth Mississippi. When he died, the first part of the battle around Corinth and Iuka Mississippi was over and the second had not begun as yet. So he was buried with casualties of Corinth-Iuka. I have just recently seen a letter from James to his father Francis, written from army camp in Sulfur Springs Missouri on 26 December 1861. His father had just notified him of his brother Joseph's death. "I regretted to hear of Josephs death yet I take consolation in knowing that he lost his life while serving in a great and good cause. If it is my fate to die in battle, I can cheerfully resign myself to that fate and will do so without a murmur."

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Eh.2ADI/238 Message Board Post: MAKE SOME SERIOUS MONEY Seriously no scams! A lot of money maid, fast and completely legal. This method really does work! This really does work and is a very easy way to make fast money. A little while back, I was searching on the web for easy ways to make money and I kept thinking that all of the ways I was reading would never work and were just scams until I read this one! The article that I had found said that I could make thousands of dollars easily in a matter of weeks with only an initial small payment of $1.00. I thought, "Yeah, right, this must be a scam like most of the rest", but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that if I sent $1.00 to the address listed at the bottom of the article that I would make great money but only if I followed the following steps. Sending to the address below is compulsary so that the newsgroup creator can process your claim. After sending the $1.00 to the first address along with a piece of paper saying "PLEASE ADD ME! TO THE A-S13 MONEY MAILING LIST" you were then instructed to rewrite the list by placing your name and address as the second address. After reconfiguring the list you then must post it on about 200 online newsgroups/forums (doesn’t matter but the more places you post the more money you make!). There are thousands and thousands of newsgroups from around the world so this task is easy and that was it when I was done! no catch. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people that were on the list, I thought about trying it. I figured what have I got to lose except 1 stamp and $1.00, right? Like most of us I was a little skeptical because it seemed so easy and a I was a little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) they confirmed that it is indeed legal! After reviewing the pro’s and con’s of the investment I decided to carry out with it. I invested the measly $1.00 and guess what??... Within 7days, I started getting money in the mail!! I was very shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over $1,000.00! In the third week Ihad over $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in rapidly. It's certainly wor! th $1.00, and 1 stamps…. Now let me explain to you how this works and most importantly why it works. Also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it. STEP 1 • Get 1 pieces of paper and write the following on it: "PLEASE ADD ME TO THE A-S13 MONEY MAILING LIST." • Now get a US $1.00 bill (for Australians; you can also use a dollar coin) and place ONE inside the piece of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope to prevent thievery. • Next, place the paper inside the envelope and seal it. You should now have a sealed envelope with a piece of paper stating the above phrase (PLEASE ADD ME TO THE A-S13 MONEY MAILING LIST), your name and address, and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing with this letter is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! • Now mail the envelope to the following address: 1. Bryan Seiler, 2 Derna Steet, Brahma Lodge, SA 5109, Australia 2. Isiah Hannah, 313 HIGH Street, Sumter, S.C. 29150, United States Repeat the procedure again for the second address. STEP 2 • After you have mailed out your letter creating a service and making this legal, take the #2 name off the list that you see above and add YOUR Name as number 2 on the list. It is important not to remove or alter the first address because this is the person who receives your claim! STEP 3 • Change anything you need to in this article, but try to keep this article as close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. (I believe there are close to 24,000 groups in USA alone). All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post the more money you make! DIRECTIONS ---HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS Step 1 You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the computers memory. Step 2 Open a blank "notepad" file under accessories in windows and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the list. Step 3 Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your postings in different sittings, you'll always have this file to go back to. Step 4 Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.) Step 5 Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group, click the post message button. After you have completed these steps you are done with your first posting Congratulations you are that more closer to easy money!...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world within days! You may eventually want to rent a P.O.Box due to the large amount of mail you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT AND REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200 to get a good amount of cash** Now WHY and HOW it works : Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 15 replies (a very low example). So then I made $15.00 with my name at #2 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #2 and only 5 persons respond to it, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #2 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #2 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $626.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00! With an original investment of only $1.00! AMAZING! When yo! ur name is no longer on the list, it will be back with the latest posting. The thing to remember is, do you realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the internet and reading these articles everyday, JUST LIKE YOU ARE SEARCHING NOW!! So it’s up to you to START GETTING SOME SERIOUS MONEY. For those people who do not believe this actually works (and entirely legal), then read the following letters:-> Dear Advisor, Thankyou! Thankyou! - No im serious, THANKYOU!!! I couldnt beleive my eyes when all that mail started to flow my way. hehe I viewed one of your posts 2 weeks ago and i have already turned that measly $1 into $667 and still growing! Im getting atleast 60 letters per week and i am totally amazed at this thing. How it works! I can only amagine how much more money im going to get! Ill leave you now with my last words: THANKOU! YOUR GREAT! Thankyou, Toby _ Dear Mr.Advisor I am so pleased with the results from this totally legal way to get rich! I never thought there was such a completely easy way to strike it rich, its just like winning the lottery i guess :) Im just writing to say thankyou for the great idea to how to get my life started with wealth! -Peter P.S. I hope we keep in touch. _ Advisor: Hey dude! WTF?...I cant beleive this thing actually works! I thought i wasted my dollar until 4 days later when i started getting letters that had money inside them haha. Thanks for telling me the easy way of getting rich, I know i will be. YES! Catch ya _ Dear Advisor, Hello. I have to admit that it sounded dodgy at first until approximately 7 days later and that is when I got my first letter. I was so surprised that i rang all my friends and told them exactly what to do. I am not only having the best time of my life now but my friends are enjoying it with me too! Thanks so much for this great oppurtunity, if there is anything I can do for you in the future just let me know. Best regards, Sonya _ ****So even if you didnt beleive it before, hopefully you do now because there is one thing that you cant dispute, and that is pure proof and hard-evidence which the above letters prove.****
