For some soldiers, we have portraits or grave photographs.

Note: the following codes identify sources:

LovRep
Lovington Reporter article of June 5, 1903, listing veteran burials in Lovington Township. (In this compilation, I give this source great credence, as it was written when these men were still remembered by the living.)
MCHGS
Moultrie Country Historical and Genealogical Society.  In this list, this refers to the cemetery transcriptions published by this group.
POR
List of Pensioners on the Roll
1891PBR
Portrait and Biographical Record of Shelby and Moultrie Counties, 1891
RoH
Roll of Honor, published by the State of Illinois in 1929. This is available at the Illinois State Archives as well as in a corrected version here.
TWM
This was Marrowbone, a pamphlet from 1889.

Daniels Matthew L
Sullivan Private B 41st Ill. Inf. Enlisted as a Private in Company B, 41st Infantry Regiment Illinois on 6 Aug 1861. Mustered out Company B, 41st Infantry Regiment Illinois on 20 Aug 1864. 1912_05_15 Marrowbone TWM: 'mustered out Aug 20, 1864; died at home soon after'. OSY gives death date of 15 May 1912, but I trust TWM more, as it represents contemporary memory. MCHGS gives name as 'Daniel' and death date of 25 May 1862: if this is the same person, it doesn't match military record or TWM.
