Posted on: Edgar Co., IL Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Edgar/335 Surname: Downs ------------------------- Seeing your messge on the Edgar Co. website, may I suggest you check Clark Co.. Charity Downs lived for some years in Marshall and, I think, died in Marshall. I don't know if any of her children are living here now but it may be worth checking. She maintained a home for the elderly for some years at the intersection of Rte 40 and Rte 1 in Marshall
