Hatch Sec. of State of Illinois Springfield Illinois Gentlemen: This will be handed you by Major Robert W. McClaughry 118th Regt Ills. Vols. Infantry I wish to ask you your cordial recommendation of what he wishes. Major McC. in 1862 was the editor of a Douglas Democratic paper in Hancock Co. He aided the government in raising men for Regt after Regt. and finally abandoned his business and raised a company for 188th. He has in <hr /> curred the ill will of many of his old political friends. He is a man of fine attainments in business, honest, and trustworthy and has been a brave soldier in the field. He has to some extent [injoined?] his health so as to render it hard for him to do field duty, tho he intends to try it. He wishes however a transfer from the line into the Pay Department, and he possesses both integrity & capacity to fill the position of Asst Paymaster of Vols. Will you be <hr /> kind enough to join me in a recommendation that Major McClaughry be transferred to the pay department. I know that he prefers service in the line but I doubt whether he can do the duties of Major in the field for a great length of time Yours Respectfully Jackson Grimshaw P.S. I have for a number of years known Major McClaughry though not enough to be seen to be personally acquainted with him but I know his [illegible] and his character for integrity & business [illegible] wherever he is well known, and I join <hr /> [illegible] in the foregoing request of Col.

During the Civil War the school relocated to Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood. In 1859 Chicago entrepreneur and Presbyterian layman Cyrus H. McCormick and his wife, Nettie Fowler McCormick, became the seminary's major financial patrons. The relationship between the McCormick family and the school remained well into the twentieth century. Shortly after McCormick’s death in 1884, the school was renamed McCormick Theological Seminary. Several campus buildings are named for McCormick family members including McCormick Hall, Fowler Hall, and Virginia Library. After Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination in 1968, seminary faculty and students were active in the civil rights movement and provided assistance to displaced and injured participants. The seminary relocated to Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood in 1975. The photographs in this collection include portraits of the McCormick Theological Seminary Class of 1896, school professors, and campus buildings. Still Image A static visual representation.
