Charles was born abt 1872 and Ella/Ellen was born about 1875. They should be buried in Lima Township somewhere, probably actually in Lima and probably near their son Harry, who was born in 1900. I have three books of the cemeteries, but never purchased this one. Thanks. Michael Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Clara HARRIS which was taken at the Ringgold Studio in Quincy, Illinois. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's with Clara likely about 1 year old at the time it was taken. I am hoping to locate someone from Clara's family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to the care of her family. If you are a member of this HARRIS Family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
