Well, Allegedly, Samuel went to Nebraska (who knows). Don't have death cert on him. William George stayed in Illinois moving to Peoria in his teens, died in 1963. Emery supposedly joined mililtary, lied about his age, when they found out, kicked him out. Don't know what name he used when he joined. We do have a picture of him in military uniform. Emery was killed at a young age in Montana in railroad accident.
