Rhonda, Simon Butler is Seamon Butler. His name is spelled every which way to Sunday, unfortunately. When he enlisted in K Co, 5th IL Cav., he was 34 years old and living in Liberty, according to his muster information on the IL SOS website. His gg granddaughter doesn't have an email address as far as I know. Email me privately (gghobbs(at)embarqmail.com) and I will give you her phone number. I would like a copy of the 5th IL Cav history that you are compiling and I can definitely open .pdf files. I look forward to receiving a copy.
