amy, What was his first name ? A Tolbert ? Was it William ? Kevin Morgan

Hi Kevin, His first name was William, but it was William R Johnson (WR Johnson on the memorial). I'm a Tolbert by marriage. I'm on the cannon co. list b/c I'm researching my husband's family as well. They are Tolberts and Carters from Readyville and Hoovers (i.e. Hoover's Mill) from cannon co. By the way, thanks for all the work you put into this list! I enjoy reading all of it, even if it doesn't apply to me. Amy

I could not find anything on him. The name was common. I did find this contact. Maybe they can help you find what unit or other records for him. Kevin IL - Marsha Carmichael has graciously offered to assist anyone who is looking for a soldier who died at Camp Douglas and are buried at the Oakwood Cemetery in Chicago. This is her email message to me. Thank you, Marsha. Appreciate everyone's help to make this page what it has become. Keep up the good work. First, your site is wonderful for researchers! You've done an amazing job and I'm sure have helped many, many people with their research. I'm writing because, in my research for my family ghosts, I took photos of the names of the soldiers who died at Camp Douglas in Chicago and are buried at Oakwood Cem. There are over 4000 names listed on the monument (although over 6000 died there). I'd be happy for you to post this on your site if any researcher would like me to check & see if their ancestor is listed and, if so, I'd be happy to send the portion with the soldier's name listed. They may contact me - MARSHA [email protected] - just make sure there's a note in the SUBJECT LINE that mentions CAMP DOUGLAS QUERY so I won't delete the message! Again - keep up the good work on that site and thanks!! Marsha

Thanks Kevin, This is the best lead I've had in over 5 years of searching! Thanks again, Amy
