Wymi (?) of the 63 Regiment of Enrolled Missouri Militia. He was enrolled on September 7th, 1864 and discharged on December 2, 1864. Missouri items are very scarce and especially EMM items. The discharge is signed by Capt. Halloek of the 13th Cavalry Missouri Volunteers. The document is in very good condition with no tape stains and intact although it was folded at one time."

Located at: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=13959&item=750514941 is "Roster of the Department of Missouri, Grand Army of the Republic, 1895,” 240-page softcover book giving name, unit and post membership for each G.A.R. member in Missouri in 1895. This valuable resource for genealogists and collectors was published as a limited edition in 1999. NOT a photocopy but an actual printed book. The information was copied from a very rare, fragile, original GAR roster and reformatted for easy reading. This lists not only veterans who served in Missouri regiments, but also many Union vets. who served in other state units, moved to Missouri and were G.A.R. members in 1895! Proceeds from the sale of this book will go to Phelps Camp No. 66, Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, to help pay for a new monument honoring Union soldiers." That's all for now. K.
