Civil War Veteran
Marion Horton, 85th Illinois Infantry Co. H.
Enlistment Record: Age 26, farmer; enlisted from Woodland; was slightly wounded at Perryville, Ky., but recovered and served with his company until severely wounded at the battle of Buzzard Roost, Georgia, February 25, 1864. A shell which did not explode struck him in the shoulder, causing a wound from which he never entirely recovered. He was honorably discharged from the hospital at Quincy, Ill., soon after the regiment was mustered out, and returned to his former home, where he died a short time after the close of the war.
