As regards Harrison Eggleston they have never been officially notified of his death so that they can give no information as to where he died if he is dead. If any of his effects has been sent home the best way will be to drop a line to the Surgeon and let him notify Col Yeoman and then you can get the particulars of the case from him. I would suppose you would like to know how we are getting along. The boys are all well except for Joe Tatman he was severely wounded at Asheville NC and left at the hospital in Greenville Tenn. I have not heard from him since but I think he will get well. Henry Vanvickle is getting better from his wound. He can walk around on crutches. We are now in camp five miles west of Nashville there is a rumour that we will move by water in a few days but we don't know where to. We are looking anxiously for the pay master. There has been a great deal of sincere sorrow manifested in this department over the death of President Lincoln. A few expressed their joy at hearing the sad news. They were immediately arrested and will be tried by a court martial. It is with deep regret that we learned of the military career of one of our smartest generals (Gen Sherman) being denied by too much ambition. But while he is getting down Phil Sheridan will be getting up. Your old servant George W. Markley PS We have just received an official dispatch of the death of Booth and the capture of Harrold. 1880 US Census for Goose Creek, Piatt, IL lists Henry Van Vickle, b. 1844, OH (OH, ?) in household of Seymour Marques 1880 1910 US Census for Goose Creek, Piatt, IL lists Henry Van Vickle, head, 66, M-25, b.

Co., 975 pages; p. 810 VanVickle, Henry, who not only is one of the best known building contractors of De Land, but also the oldest engaged in this line of business but also the oldest in this line of business in Piatt County, was b. in Ohio, March 30, 1844, a son of Daniel and Martha [Clark] Van Vickle, who were born, reared, and lived and passed away in Ohio. During a boyhood which was filled with hard work and very little schooling, Henry Van Vickle was taught a love for his country, and these lessons in patriotism came to fruition in his enlistment for service during the Civil War in January, 1864, in Company A, Ninteenth Ohio Volunteer Infantry. From then until December 15, 1864 when he was wounded by a gunshot wound in the left leg, at the battle of Nashville, Mr. Van Vickle participated in the Georgia Campaign under General Sherman. His honorable discharge is dated 12 July 1865 at Camp Denison, Ohio, and following his obtaining subsequent two years he remained there, but, in February 1867, he came to Illinois, and for a year attended school at Monticello. After working for farmers for a time, he farmed on his own account for seven years, and then in 1884 began learning the carpentry trade and was with J.A. Campbell until 1913 when he left him to engage in a general contracting business of his own. In addition to taking contracts for building, he also carried on a painting and paper hanging business, and has executed some very important contracts in this line. He owns a fine home in De Land and some land in Florida. On February 15, 1885, Mr. Van Vickle was married to Emma A. Anderson, botn in Piatt County, IL, in 1856, a daugher of William and Jane Anderson, natives of Ross County, OH. Mr. Anderson died in 1910 and Mrs. Anderson lives in Monticello. For some years, Mr. Van Vickle has attended the Methodist church. In politics he is a republican, and he served as tax collector of Goose Creek Township for three years Franklin Post G.A.R. in Monticello, holds his membership and enjoys meeting his old comrades at the reunions.
