    3. It seems I've found ANOTHER branch of our tree that has roots in DeWitt County. After my Harper family members moved on to Nebraska in the 1890's, some of them married Stone's and Bruner's. As I was going over WWI records I found Charles W. Bruner, of Wood River Nebraska. Lo and behold, he was born Jan. 1, 1888 at DeWitt County, IL!! I looked at Bob's marriage records and sure enough, his parents, Wm. H. and Anna (Stone) Bruner were married 11/11/1874 in DeWitt County. I'm sending his WWI info. in case there is anyone researching the Bruner's of DeWitt and wonder where Wm. and Anna got to. CHARLES W. BRUNER, private, b. DeWitt County, Ill, Jan. 1, 1888; enlisted at Fremont, Neb., May 1918. Sent to Edgewood, Md., manufacturing gas; injured several times with gas; now in cement works, Fremont, Neb.; son of W.H. and Anna (Stone) Bruner, Wood River, Neb. >From the Wood River Cemetery, Wood River, NE: Wm. H. Bruner, Sept. 18, 1850 to Dec. 18, 1910 Anna M. Bruner, Dec. 7, 1856 to Apr. 21, 1932 Charles is not buried at Wood River, but another son is: W. L. Bruner, 1896 to 1967 (his name was "probably" William) The Wood River Cemetery has many Bruner's listed, so if anyone would like the info, let me know. Kaylynn [email protected]
