Oh thank you so much!! This is the family and yes, Mary Lambers is the mother in law! I really appreciate your finding this information, my cousins and dad will be also! Thanks again, Marijean

But if you really look, his wife must've been dead by 1880 if she is not listed and his status is that of a widow. I didn't look to make sure but I thought it said his marital status was widow. Am I right? Melrose Township is not Sycamore street. But then again, they may have lived in Melrose Township and moved into town later around 1900. Glad I could help. I am digging through my catholic death index's for her now and so far no luck. I still have 2 others to check. I FOUND HER!! Ok, this is what it says and yes she was dead. Taken from St Mary's Catholic Church death index: Brink, Maria nee Lambers w/o Henry Brink Died 9/2/1875 at age ca 44 years (page 12 entry 22) Mindy Adams & Pike Co., IL Genealogy Host http://www.iltrails.org/adams/index.html http://www.iltrails.org/pike/index.html "Never argue with idiots.
