 The Illinois Soldiers’ and vSailors’ Home is located on a tract of 222 acres, adjoining the City of 
 Quincy on the North. The ground is on a plateau, partly wooded, lying between two creeks and affording 
 a beautiful site for such an institution. The Wabash and C. B. & R. R. have a station on the premises. 
 The Home was opened in March, 1887, since which time up to October 1st there have been 4,116 admissions, 
 and there are now on the rolls 1,645 ; 1,332 present and 313 absent. There are seventeen brick cottages.
