James Everard was my wife's great grandfather. He was with the 90th Illinois, Co. B for most of its service. He is listed with the regiment in the Illinois Memorial at Vicksburg. He marched in the grand parade at war's end. Later he served in the regular infantry in the Dakota Terr., until 1868. He raised his family in Kansas City, Kan., and is buried there.
