Posted on: Edgar Co., IL Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Edgar/324 Surname: Morrison, Jared ------------------------- I am trying to find information regarding Harriet E. Morrison (and her family) who married John L. Jared in Edgar County on June 11,1873, and about Harriet's father, David A. Morrison who I believe was born in 1809, married Catherine Ross, and he died (I think) in 1888. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, Phyllis & Ray, If you'll watch for green street/road signs when in the Paris area of Edgar Co, you can follow Rt 150 E from town, over the railroad overpass, then N /left on 1800th Street to the first crossroads. Turn W /left onto 950th Road. Whalen, I believe lays N of 950th Rd, before Y in road that goes both straight N and angles on NW to the Clinton Road. Cemetery is in pas- ture near Stepp farm, but land is owned by John Watson, who has a tenant farmer. You need to ask permission before enter- ing pasture to get to cemetery. Stepps might be able to tell you who to contact, but I don't find a phone # in 6/00 directory for them, nor for Watson. Cemetery lays in SW quarter NW quarter Section 33 T14N R11W 2nd Principal Meridian, according to our Edgar Co Genealogical Society's Cemetery Directory. You can also find locations for many IL cemeteries on the IL State Genealogical Society's Website at: http//:www.tbox.com/isgs/ But a few of ours have not been updated since more accurate locations have been found. Best wishes to you both from ajb.

Posted on: Edgar Co., IL Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Edgar/320 Surname: Powell ------------------------- I am searching for the family of William Lewis Powell and Ephraim Powell who, according to our family records, resided in Hume, Edgar County between the late 1800s and the early 1900s. Please contact me if you know of this line or have a connection to this line of Powells. William Lewis, born between 1851 and 1861 in Wabash County, Indiana, may have been the son of either Samuel Powell, a Baptist Circuit Rider, or Samuel's son Hiram Powell. Ephraim Powell, born in 1854 in Wabash County, Indiana, we believe is Samuel's son with a crippled back who never married.

Does anyone know of a girl's school that may have been in the Paris, IL area in the 1930's? I have found a diary of a young girl who sounds as if she is at a boarding school of some kind. Paris is mentioned. PHILLIPS is the surname of the girl and there are several GARWOOD listings in the back, also. Would love to return the diary to a member of the student's immediate family. Thanks for any leads. sherry
