We received word this a.m. of the death of Rachel Johnson Cowan, age 79, in Sun City Center, FL. She was daughter of Paul and Ruth Hutchcraft Johnson of Hamilton County, Il.; Gibson City (Ford County) residents many years. She married Les Cowan. I am trying to get her obit from Fl. newspapers; and currently unable to open my FTM to get her particulars. If you have HUTCHCRAFT'S IN AMERICA, she is written of on page 237, the John Hutchcraft, Mary Crisel section.
