"Harry Blake + Wife Drummer 18th Ill. Vol. Inft."
|
The National Archives found no pension record for Harry Blake, Drummer of the 18th Illinois Volunteer Infantry. This may indicate that he was not injured and did not qualify for a pension. His military record has not yet been investigated. The Union County, Illinois Marriage Register does not contain an entry for the couple, so where they were married remains a mystery.
