He is buried in Bement, Piatt County, IL. He married Maude E. Graham. Maude & Mote had at least five children, Flossie, Lula, Elsie, Charles, & Elizabeth. I know nothing further about their children. Mote had 1 brother, Charles, and 2 sisters, Rozella Shipman (my grandmother) and Isabella Arizona (Zony) Humphreys. Mote's parents were John W. Fuqua and Sarah E. Minor. Sarah had a half brother, named Henry Moten Minor. I've always thought that is where the name came from. I have further info on John & Sarah. What is your wife's line? Kay
