This database on the Illinois State Archives site, lists the names of male residents of the Illinois Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Home admitted from its opening in 1887 through September 1916 and female residents from 1908 through September 1916. Picture of the home, from: "Historical Encyclopedia of Illinois", Edited by N. Bateman, P. Selby & J.S. Currey. Chicago: Munsell Publishing Company, 1921. Historical info on the Grundy County ILGenWeb site about the Home in Quincy. (Thanks, Deb!) More - Old Soldier’s Homes– Wikipedia, National Cemeteries -Veteran burials.
"In 1885 the General Assembly created the Illinois Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Home at Quincy to provide subsistence and a home for honorably discharged and disabled veterans of the Mexican and Civil Wars. In succeeding years Illinois veterans of all wars and veterans’ wives, mothers, and daughters became eligible for admission. In 1973 the General Assembly changed the home’s name to the Illinois Veterans’ Home. Since 1976 the Department of Veterans’ Affairs has administered the home." Illinois State Archives.
Listed here are those residents from Hancock County. I will be adding the records from the home for each person. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view these files.
