Excerpt from Roster of the Survivors of the 86th Illinois Volunteer Infantry: With the Post Office Addresses as Far as Known, Together With the Proceedings of the Reunion Held at Peoria, August 27, 1887 Some time previous to the last anniversary of the 86th Illinois Infantry a very few of the survivors met and consulted in regard to the necessity of making a call for a reunion. The question was decided in the affirmative, and accordingly a circular making the call was issued and a programme prepared and sent to every comrade as far as known. The result was a happy reunion on the 27th day of August, 1887, and a happy greeting to everyone present. An organization was affected and the proceedings are submitted in this little book. In presenting this little work to the survivors of the 86th Regiment it is hoped it will be highly prized by every comrade and preserved as a souvenir, and be a reminder of the good time coming on the 27th day of August, 1888, which it is hoped, in point of number, will exceed 1887. It is desired that a copy be placed in the hand of every comrade, now living, who was in any way connected with the 86th Illinois Infantry and has an honorable discharge from the same. We are not able to give the death roll in full, but hope to obtain by the next reunion the names of all who have died since the war, and give date when and where they died. It is asked of every survivor that he assist in procuring the name and residence of all living, also the name and place where all have died since mustered out of service.
