This is the story of the four McDonough County residents from
Bushnell and Prairie City who received the Congressional Medal of
Honor for their heroic acts during the Civil War. Chaplain Milton
Haney, Sergeant Jacob Sanford and Corporal Robert M. Cox were
volunteers in the Fifty-fifth Illinois Regiment and Samuel
McConnell served as a Captain with the 119th Illinois Volunteers,
But this story is not theirs alone. One-hundred twenty-nine brave
men from Bushnell, Prairie City and Marietta served in Companies F
and G of the Fifty-fifth Regiment and 35 gave their very lives to
preserve the union that we now call the United States of America.
