Wm CANHAM was mustered into service 28 Aug 1861 at Sandwich ILL and discharged Nashville TN 28 Aug 1864.He married Sarah Shaffer(Shaver) Oct 3, 1864 in Somonauk, ILL.He diedand we think is buried in Millington, ILL Jan 1, 1869.Sarahdied Nov 29, 1910 at Edgewater, ILL Old PeoplesHome and was buried in Newark- Millington Cemetery.This info is proven by her application for Wm's military pension, signed by sister-in-law, Louisa Pollard.We need to find someone who might have info on any of these people as they are our ancestors.There was a daughter of Louisa, Frances E Shaver, who married John Ferdinand Thompson in Cook Co., ILL Nov 27, 1873 or 75.We suspect Frances may have lived around Edgewater, ILL.We would really like to find descendants of hers if there were any and where she is buried.Bert and Kent
