Pauline, I am not a military expert but... I had a situationsome time ago that looked similar to yours. In my case, "Mo." was an abbreviation of "Mounted". If this is true in your case, "Co. H. 3rd Mo. Cal." may mean: "Company H, 3rd Mounted IllinoisCavalry". I know it seems strange to state thata cavalry unit was mounted but there is such a thing as unmounted cavalry and mounted infantry.
Good Luck, Art
