Now I have another request, this time from the other side of my family. I just came across the death notice for my great aunt on the Whig.com site. Could someone send me a copy of the obit that ran in Nov 7, 2002 newspaper. BROEKER, Emma (WISKIRCHEN) Hibbeler, 98, Sycamore Healthcare Centre, died Nov 6, 2002. Duker and Haugh Funeral Home. I would like to have this for my files. Luckily, my mother had her record some of her early memories growing up in Quincy. Her father had a funeral home there as well as stables. Their horses were used to bring in the Barnum and Bailey circus. She got to see them come into town, very early in the morning. Interesting woman, glad to have met her a few times. Thanks for your help Kerry McHugh Olympia WA

The name "Broeker" certainly drew my attention. My Great Grandmother, Catherine Stening (b. Oct. 2, 1826 in Germany, married Gerhard Broeckers on July 21, 1852. He died Sept. 8, 1852, she was pregnant and had a baby girl Apr. 26, 1853. She then married my Great Grandfather, Bernard Heinrich Groeting, Nov. 22, 1853. I have tried everything I know to find out why and how he died. I have not been able to find anything. I do have the recording of the marriage in 1852. I would really appreciate any news you may have. Thank you, Marie Pickett nee Krogman born and raised in Quincy, IL. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kerry McHugh" <kmmchugh@attbi.com> To: <ILADAMS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, November 14, 2002 1:37 PM Subject: [ILADAMS] Nov 7 Obit needed-Quincy Herald Whig > > > Now I have another request, this time from the other side of my family. > I just came across the death notice for my great aunt on the Whig.com site.
