(NOTE: Jonathan E. Haley probably never had his portrait taken prior to the Civil War and during the short time that he was in the service, only 2 of which were spent in Nashville, where most of the surviving pictures of the 86th in uniform were taken, Jonathan was sick in the hospital for some time. He may have ever felt well enough to sit for a portrait. If he did, however, his portrait would have come in the form of a "Tin Type" or more likely in the form of what was called a "CDV", which was a paper picture glued to a heavier card stock about the size of a modern day baseball card, and the soldiers didn't just have one or two copies made. Most of the time, they had a dozen or more made, so they could swap pictures with their tentmates, messmates and for their friends, in the 86th and back home.
Jonathan then survived his ailment and the war and lived into the 1880's. During his life, Jonathan probably had his picture taken several times. I would dearly love to see a copy of that CDV added to his Find A Grave site for all with an interest to see. However, at this point, I would be thrilled just to see any pictures of him added to his Find A Grave Memorial, even ones of him as an old man. Can anyone help me? Thanks, Baxter)

When Magee had about 100 volunteers he assembled his company at Camp Lyons, located near present day Glen Oak Park in Peoria, where they remained in camp until they were mustered into service. On August 27, 1862 Magee and 89 of his volunteers were mustered into service as Co. H of the 86th Regiment of Illinois Volunteer Infantry. Initially, the men of Co. H elected Magee to be their Captain. Magee, however, because of his past military experiences, was selected and promoted to the rank of Lt. Colonel of the entire regiment. After this John H. Hall, was elected by the men of Co. H to be their Captain. The men of Co. H elected Jonathan E. Haley to serve as the 4th Corporal.
On September 7, 1862, the men of the 86th Illinois marched out of the gates of Camp Lyon, through the streets of Peoria, with much fanfare, and along with the men of the 85th Illinois, boarded trains bound for Camp Joe Holt, Jeffersonville, Indiana, across the Ohio River from Louisville, Kentucky. Three weeks later, the men of the 85th & 86th were in the field in Kentucky as part of Col. Daniel McCook's Brigade, in pursuit of Confederate troops. On Oct. 8, 1862, the men of McCook's Brigade were engaged with those troops in the Battle of Perryville, Kentucky, the 86th Illinois suffering their first casualties. There would be many more in the next three years.
After the Battle of Perryville, the Confederate troops withdrew from Kentucky, while the men of McCook's Brigade marched on to Nashville, Tennessee, where they would go into winter camp. The men of McCook's Brigade arrived in the Nashville, Tennessee area on the 7th of November and went straight to Edgefield, Tennessee, located just north and east of Nashville across the Cumberland River from Nashville. There the men of McCook's Brigade made their initial encampment.
That first winter in the field was very hard on the green troops. Even before the regiments had left the Louisville area, men were having great difficulty with their new diet and lifestyle. In Nashville, during that first winter, the hospitals were full to overflowing with sick soldiers. Today, hundreds of soldiers who died during that first winter lie buried in the Nashville National Cemetery. One of the soldiers known to have been having difficulty with his health during this time was Corporal Jonathan E. Haley.
Whatever his ailment, nothing the doctors did seemed to help Corporal Jonathan E. Haley. Finally in January of 1863, doctors decided that they best thing they could do for Corporal Haley was to discharge him and send him home in hopes with with the help of family and some home cooking, he could regain his health. So, on January 19, 1863, Corporal Jonathan E. Haley was discharged from the service and sent home. Once back home, with the help of family and that home cooking, Jonathan survived his ailment and with his wife, Elizabeth, had two more children.

(Baxter would enjoy hearing from anyone, especially descendants of the Haley family who might be able to add to the biographical material that we have on Corporal Jonathan E. Haley and the Haley family. Baxter would also love to see copies of any photographs of Corporal Jonathan E. Haley that may have survived the years, especially any showing him in uniform from his days in the service, added to his Find A Grave site for all to see,)
Jonathan then survived his ailment and the war and lived into the 1880's. During his life, Jonathan probably had his picture taken several times. I would dearly love to see a copy of that CDV added to his Find A Grave site for all with an interest to see. However, at this point, I would be thrilled just to see any pictures of him added to his Find A Grave Memorial, even ones of him as an old man. Can anyone help me? Thanks, Baxter)

When Magee had about 100 volunteers he assembled his company at Camp Lyons, located near present day Glen Oak Park in Peoria, where they remained in camp until they were mustered into service. On August 27, 1862 Magee and 89 of his volunteers were mustered into service as Co. H of the 86th Regiment of Illinois Volunteer Infantry. Initially, the men of Co. H elected Magee to be their Captain. Magee, however, because of his past military experiences, was selected and promoted to the rank of Lt. Colonel of the entire regiment. After this John H. Hall, was elected by the men of Co. H to be their Captain. The men of Co. H elected Jonathan E. Haley to serve as the 4th Corporal.
On September 7, 1862, the men of the 86th Illinois marched out of the gates of Camp Lyon, through the streets of Peoria, with much fanfare, and along with the men of the 85th Illinois, boarded trains bound for Camp Joe Holt, Jeffersonville, Indiana, across the Ohio River from Louisville, Kentucky. Three weeks later, the men of the 85th & 86th were in the field in Kentucky as part of Col. Daniel McCook's Brigade, in pursuit of Confederate troops. On Oct. 8, 1862, the men of McCook's Brigade were engaged with those troops in the Battle of Perryville, Kentucky, the 86th Illinois suffering their first casualties. There would be many more in the next three years.
After the Battle of Perryville, the Confederate troops withdrew from Kentucky, while the men of McCook's Brigade marched on to Nashville, Tennessee, where they would go into winter camp. The men of McCook's Brigade arrived in the Nashville, Tennessee area on the 7th of November and went straight to Edgefield, Tennessee, located just north and east of Nashville across the Cumberland River from Nashville. There the men of McCook's Brigade made their initial encampment.
That first winter in the field was very hard on the green troops. Even before the regiments had left the Louisville area, men were having great difficulty with their new diet and lifestyle. In Nashville, during that first winter, the hospitals were full to overflowing with sick soldiers. Today, hundreds of soldiers who died during that first winter lie buried in the Nashville National Cemetery. One of the soldiers known to have been having difficulty with his health during this time was Corporal Jonathan E. Haley.
Whatever his ailment, nothing the doctors did seemed to help Corporal Jonathan E. Haley. Finally in January of 1863, doctors decided that they best thing they could do for Corporal Haley was to discharge him and send him home in hopes with with the help of family and some home cooking, he could regain his health. So, on January 19, 1863, Corporal Jonathan E. Haley was discharged from the service and sent home. Once back home, with the help of family and that home cooking, Jonathan survived his ailment and with his wife, Elizabeth, had two more children.
