HURST is a very well known name in Edgar and Clark counties. I have one of my CRAIG relatives who married a HURST, however, I am not familiar with your more recent HURST. Keep looking into the HURST lines, you'll probably find your ancestor.

I have her Death Certificate and it shows her Death Date as Apr. 12, 1930 and buried at Mt. Carmel in Brouiletts Crk Twp. Husband as Wm Clark. It shows her Birth Date as July 7, 1875 in IL. It shows her Father as Wm HURST or HURSH born in IL and her Mother as Nancy HUTSIRE?? born in IL. Informant is Wm Clark. She was married to Charles B. SMITH, (we now believe that they changed the last name to SMITH, from a surname that possibly starts with a B, after they were married and had children-Ross, Jack and Zetta b. 1899.) Any info on these lines are much appreciated. Thank You.
