The Bureau County surname that I am sure about is Schuetts. My grandfather was Albert Robert Schuetts who married Hannah Elizabeth Broadbent. I believe that she was from Annawan in Henry County. I believe that Albert had a brother named August who was married to Hannah Broadbent first. They had a child Carolyn (Carrie) and he died and she married Albert. Albert and August's fathers name was also August. He was married to a Rachel Fenton. Albert was married to Hannah in 1909. He was born in 1885. If you see anything on the Schuetts I would appreciate the help. There is still a great-aunt living in Kewanee but I have not been able to get much from her.
