I've "rescued" an old photograph of Ella MAGLONE MEESE taken at the Dougherty Studio in Robinson, Illinois. I believe the photo was probably taken in the 1880's and Ella appears to be in her late teens or 20's at the time. I'm hoping to find someone in her family so that the photograph can be returned to its rightful place with family. If you are a member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact me.

I'm just posting an Obit that was sent to me by Barbara Dix who is transcribing old news articles for the website. All known information about this obituary including dates, locations, and newspaper are posted here, if known. CATHERINE LAYTON GOES TO REWARD. Catherine Cox was born on April 5th, 1862, and departed this life on July 3, 1930, being 68 years 2 months and 28 days. She was the daughter of William Morton and Emily Voorheis Cox. Catherine was the third child born in the family of nine children, Henry Tuttle, Kitchel M., Catherine, Alice, an infant son, Joel L., John Thomas, Lura and Arthur M. She spent her entire life in this neighborhood. At the age of 16 years she united with the Hutsonville Baptist Church under the pastorate of her uncle, John L. Cox. She found great enjoyment in church attendance until afflictions made it impossible to attend. On the 27th day of October, 1885, she was united in marriage to Armstead Layton. They began housekeeping at the present home of Mike King. Later they removed to her father's old homestead where she spent the balance of her life with her family of loved ones. To this marriage were born five children, Fern E., Edith E., Guy M., Charles A., and Arthur M. Fern preceded her mother, departing this life on June 23, 1906. Catherine was a most faithful companion and helpmate of her husband, a kind and loving mother and grandmother, and a friend and neighbor to all with whom she came in contact. She was woman of sterling qualities of character and will be greatly missed not only in her own home but in the entire community. While hearts are sorly wounded at her passing there is a boon in submission to the ways of Providence and a lifting of hearts to Him who said, "I am the resurrection and the life". She leaves to mourn their loss a husband, a daughter, three sons, seven grandchildren, a sister, four brothers, and a host of other relatives and friends. "Strength and honor were her clothing. Her children arise up and call her blessed." Funeral service was held at the home Sunday afternoon, being conducted by Rev. I. C. Tedford. Interment in the Hutsonville Cemetery.

All known information about this obituary including dates, locations, and newspaper are posted here, if known. Fern Layton Answers Final Summons. We expect the sun to set in the evening, the flowers to fade after their blooming, and the leaves to fall at the coming of the frost, but that the sun should set ere it reaches its zenith, that the flowers should wither at the time of their budding, that the leaves should fall before the appointed season--this is the uncertainty of life. It was such with Fern Layton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Armstead Layton, who died Sunday at the age of 19 years and 10 months. For three years she had an invalid, being confined to her bed the greater part of the time. She was a member of the Baptist Church at this place, and died triumphant in the faith. Fern was a young lady who made a friend of every one she met, and to whom her untimely demise is the cause of much sorrow. To the parents, sister and brothers the sympathy of all is extended. Funeral services were conducted Monday afternoon at the church, and more than twice as many people as could gain entrance were present. The sermon was preached by Elder John L. Cox, being an excellent discourse on the victory over death achieved by the Savior. Interment was made in the cemetery north of town. (1906?)

William Hendricks died Oct. 31, 1947 in Palestine, IL. and his wife's name was Ella. Don't have her full name or any other particulars on this couple. Trying to obtain his obituary. Also, Wm. was found to have been in the S-War and would like to know which company he was in. Have a picture of him, in uniform, and his hat has two guns crossed and on top of one gun is 11 and on the bottom of the other gun is B. Also he was in the Army as stated by the Crawford website. So, would this company have originated by the IL. Spanish War? Could anyone help me with these questions? Georgia

From earliest infancy he was trained by Christian parents, but at the early age of 14 he was deprived of both father and mother. At the age of 32 he renewed his covenant with God, dedicated his life to His service and received the baptism of the Holy Ghost. The next year he united with the Friends Church at Pleasant Grove, where he has ever since been a faithful member. He was a a quiet unassuming man, but he he lived an open life and won the confidence of all who who knew him. He possessed the sterling qualities of integrity and truthfulness and his life before the world was above reproach. In the home he was a kind and loving father looking carefully after the temporal and spiritual needs of the family. He did not allow the cares of life or the pursuit of worldly gain to hinder him in the service of his Master and and the Church. Because of his faithfulness he was chosen to fill the most responsible places in the church, having filled the place of both elder and overseer. He met his untimely death last Thursday evening and while he never regained consciousness so he could tell his loved ones of his future prospects, yet the life he lived bears abundant testimony of his being safely housed with God. He leaves a wife, 5 sons, 2 daughters-in-law's, 1 grandchild, 1 brother, 3 sisters and a host of friends to mourn his loss. The community has lost a splendid man, the church a most loyal member, the family a true father.
