At the beginning of the 1855/1865 Christian County Census book is a page for each year: �Identification of Manufactures and Other Remarks� In 1855, the predominate description of Manufactures was: �Cloth�. In 1865, the Cloth description disappears. Anyone know what this short lived occupation was? bill

Looking for information on the Shelton Thompson family. He was born about 1800 in Virginia and moved to Christian Co., Illinois around 1860-64.

Trying to find information on Irving G. Finfrock and his wife Sarilda Marvel who were living in the Mt. Auburn, area in 1891. They had one daughter that I know of Leta Lorene born on August 6, 1891 and married a Harry Smith . Thank you. Sharon [email protected]

Would someone with a cemetery index please look up Bridget HELM or HELMS and Eva HELM or HELMS. Both died in Taylorville: Bridget (born about 1834) died between 1870 and 1874, and Eva (Bridget's child, born about 1858) died between 1860 and 1870. Thanks in advance, Marolin [email protected]

At the end of the Civil War, my g-g grandfather, JOHN JACOB FATZER, married ROSANNA ZIMMERMAN of Taylorsville, Christian County, Illinois and moved directly to Kansas with his Civil War buddies (an Illinois infantry regiment). They lost total contact with the Taylorsville Zimmerman's. ROSANNA's parents are CHRISTIAN ZIMMERMAN and ANNA (STRITES) ZIMMERMAN...both first generation Swiss immigrants. I understand there was a fairly large contingent of Zimmermans living in Taylorsville during the last half of the 19th century. Hopefully, this "rings a bell with someone out there"...I'm really stuck on this line. Tom Wilson Boca Raton, FL

HI Last year someone on this list wanted to find a woman who was a doc of sorts around the Christian Co IL area. While on horseback in the middle of winter, she was trying to reach a patient and she frozed to death on her horse. Contact me if you are still on here and interested. I found a link of info. Thanks Sally Hathaway [email protected] ps: Morgan, could you please let this post on the list. I am almost ready to come back, maybe a couple of weeks yet. Thanks.

Thanks to everyone on the Pana, IL location question. Terry Littleton

Terry--Pana, Illinois is in Christian County. The pronounciation (pain-uh) does sound as if it should be spelled Pena, but . . .

Hello all, I just learned that a group of my ancestors came to Christian Co, IL from Ohio and I thought I'd see if anyone on here could help me find a bit of information. I'm looking for a death certificate for a John Baird LITTLETON who I believe died in Christian Co 23 Feb 1892. Also could anyone tell me what county Pana, IL is in? John had a son, James Bard LITTLETON, who married an Amanda Melvina Bond in Christian Co and she was born in Pena, IL Is that in Christian Co? Any help on these or any other LITTLETONs in Christian Co will be greatly appreciated. Terry Littleton (sponsor of [email protected])

Hi Lura, Could you see if John W. Collins (parents unknown) or Mary F. A. Bruce (parents deceased but had brothers William, James, Joseph, George, and Phillip) are listed in the 1865 IL State Cenus (Christian County). They weren't married until 1874 in Christian County but I can't find out when they got there. Thanks. Judy Martin [email protected]
