126th Illinois infantry Co. A

[ChristinaCompE21]

Hello.
I am looking for information, again lol. I just found out that my Great Great Great Uncle Godfrey Shipman was part of this regiment. I however can't find that much about them or any pictures for that matter. Also I know they were mustered out of Alton Il.
This is what is weird. I was in Alton maybe 2 months ago and I just kinda felt that someone in my blood line was there, I figured I just had one to many and it was my imagination but sure enough I found out that Godfrey was there. Does anyone know the landmark where they mustered out from? Or have any pictures AT ALL OF this company or the 21st Illinois Company C? ( trying my luck again)

or of the 1915 and 1916 Moultrie GAR conventions?! they both attended

Thank you again <3
