IL. - d. 6 Sep 1943 Brocton. I have no other data on the CAIN surname, though A. Joyce BROWN wrote: "Hi, Paul, Ambrose Cain was a blacksmith in the village of Redmon, IL in the early 1900s, according to the centennial history, "Redmon on the Edge of the Prairie", I wrote in 1974. Although no marriage was found for him in Edgar Co. Marriages, 1860-1886, there were several Cain males married here during that period. Census records might be of help to you in your search". "You might want to check out our new website for the Edgar County Genealogy Library at: www.comwares.net/ecgl where you can download forms for ordering research, local publications for sale, etc. This site covers both the EC Historical, Genealogical Societies and the Library. You need to click on the ECGL link, then click on Research Request link on one of the pages to download that specific form". "I was thinking there was a picture of Ambrose in the Redmon history, but the index is in the library, not my private library". Regards, Paul
