Thanks for the Clyde obituary and the additional information on Mevin's wife. Someone is trying to locate Henry's obit in Peoria, but having trouble, no exact date of death, his obit is not at The Frankfort Area gen society location. I am not sure Velma obit will help, I found a brief one it named no one. Maybe the one in Frankfort or St. Louis will be longer and more descriptive, found her DC in MO . Again thanks Lonnie fink Lonfink@comcast.net

After a day and a half struggling with my massive database (240,000 names, dates, locations, etc.) an Ancestry technician was able to "unsnaggle" my database (i.e., it is workable again!) without losing any information.
