Presbyterian banner. (Pittsburgh, Pa.) 1860-1898: May 27, 1863


Died May 1st, 1863, at the residence of his father, J. T. Milligan, near Washington,
Ill., Calvin B. Milligan, in the 22d year of his age. He was born near Steubenville,
Ohio. When he was seven years old, his father removed to Ashland County, Ohio. After
living there seven years, he came to Deer Creek, Ill. In July, 1862, this young man
enlisted in the 86th Reg't Illinois Vols. He was in the battle of Perryville, and
endured much fatigue and exposure during a long march of some hundreds of miles
through Kentucky and Tennessee, without either tents or overcoats. He lay in the
hospital at Nashville, for over four months.  His discharge was obtained only two
weeks  before his death, and he was then, with difficulty brought home, only to die,
after enjoying the sympathy and attention of his father's family for this short
period...
