Gwen, Thanks for sharing. I have a Simon Butler as a private in Company K, but no Seamon Butler. Would this be your great grand uncle? I can send you my latest article about the 5th Illinois if you can read .pdf files with Acrobat Reader. Let me know and I can send them off asap. Would you also have the email or regular mail address of the g-g granddaughter? If not, the phone number would be most appreciated. Thanks again, Rhonda M.
