I am trying to find out information on PVT.Ford Butler 7th. Co. E Miss. BTTN. CSA. He was born in Alabama and grew up with my gg grandfather they both joined the Army at the same time but ended up in different Divisions. They were both taken prisoner and both ended at Rock Island Prison. My gg grandfather was transfered to Point Lookout Prison Md. in 1864 and survived and came home. Ford Butler died 10/14/64 at Rock Island and was buried there. My gg. grandfather married Ford Butler's widow when he came home. They were married 58 yrs. at the time of my gg.grandmother's death. I am trying to locate someone in the Rock Island area that might be able to get me a photo of Ford Butler's grave he is buried in grave #1563.
 
A little late in the year for the request, rebelyell. Remind me when the snow melts and it warms up some.

Am planning to go over there soon, but not during the winter. If you'll repost or PM me around the middle of May, I'll put the photo on my to do list.

Ole
