Another family I have from Fayette Co. is the Radcliff family. Again this information was passed to my mother by a cousin Hazel Radcliff Stowe in 1995. I don't think I've added anything to this at all other than info. on my immediate line. Virdia Lydia Chandler(daughter of Milo Nichols-see Nichols post)b. Aug. 7, 1878 m. John William Radcliff June 29, 1896 in Salem, MO (IL?) John William was born March 28, 1871 in Washington(Twnship?Co?)(IL?IN?). Virdia (Birdie) died Nov. 17,1959 in St. Joseph Hospital, St. Charles, Missouri and is buried in Mt. Carmel Cemetery, Fayette Co. IL. John (Jack) died May 30, 1936 in Vandalia and I assume is also buried in Mt. Carmel. Their Children: Orie Arthur, b. May 13, 1897 d. March 1973 Romona, CA. m. Frances Mills, Decatur IL William Milo, b. Dec. 23, 1899 St. Elmo, IL, d. March 23, 1970 Ft. Myers, FL. m. Elsie Louisa Scribner, Decatur, IL Claude Edward, b. June 6, 1902, Marion, IL., d. July 29, 1991 St. Louis, MO. m. Beulah Jones, Vandalia, IL Ethel M., b. 1904 d. 1917. Roy Harold, b. Oct. 13, 1907, St. Elmo, d. Dec 3, 1975 Ft. Myers, FL m. Cora Mae Carson, Vandalia Louis Chandler, b. March 4, 1912, St. Elmo. d. Oct. 24, 1995 Macon, GA. m. Polly Keller Jones, Seale AL (they eloped from Taylor Co., GA across the state line) I'm descended from Louis Chandler. He was my grandfather. My mother does not know anything about her grandparents Virdia & John Radcliff. Her father Louis ran away from home as a boy and never contacted the family until mid 1980s. We would like to learn more about them. Does anyone know this family? Does anyone know where John (Jack) Radcliff might have been from. Or could anyone access local newpapers to maybe get me a copy of obituaries for my great grandparents? Or any records would be helpful. Thank you for your help. Gwen Brooks Atlanta, GA
