I need as much biographical information as can be found for George S. Vilott. He was born May 6, 1842, and died August 23, 1920. Child and young man he lived in Indiana. During the Civil War he served in a sergeant in the Company H of the 36th Indiana Volunteer Infantry. He may have been wounded. His pension records list him as "Army Invalid." Some details would be nice. He moved to Kansas after the war where he an another Vilott, probably his brother, took up farming in Jewel County.
He was elected to the Kansas State Legislature as a Republican in November 1894. [The Topeka State Journal, Nov. 8, 1894, Night Edition, page 3]
That's it. That's all I know at present. A photo would be wonderful.
CAN YOU HELP?
