Can anyone tell me if soldiers from Illinois had to sign-up in Illinois, or did they have to go to another state to do this?Illinois State Archives said the Muster Rolls of Spanish American War units "was not found".I am researching one John Luther Selby (sometimes spelled Sellbee) who lived in Illinois, but died of Malaria(?) in a hospital on the West Coast.We don't know which hospital or which city. If no Muster Rolls exist, does anyone have knowledge of a hospital on the West Coast (San Francisco??)
that handled soldiers that had contracted a disease?
Many thanks for any suggestions
