THOMPSONVILLE - Clovis Burton Hall, 79, passed from this life Saturday, March 16, 2013, in Heartland Regional Medical Center in Marion. Clovis was born the youngest of five children on Sept. 19, 1933, to Charles Leroy "Roy" Hall and Jesse Gazel Hall of Thompsonville. Later his father married Unile Marie Hunroe. His brothers and sisters were Afton Laverne Hall of Pacific, Mo., Mrs. Eutha Nadine Miller of Thompsonville, Marion Lestus Hall of Thompsonville and Mrs. Romona Bozarth of Marion. In 1957 he married Marlene Kimmel of Thompsonville who has been his loving companion for 55 years. Clovis graduated from Thompsonville High School at age 16, then attended Lockyear Business College in Evansville, Ind. Upon gradation he became employed at the Chrysler Corp. in Evansville. It was at this time that he was called to serve his country. He was in the US Army from 1953 to 1955. Upon his discharge he returned to his former job at Chrysler for several years. Clovis was in banking for 11 years, working at the Bank of West Frankfort and the Bank of Benton. Until his retirement, he worked at Freeman 4 coal mine in Pittsburg as a repairman, mine examiner and hoist engineer. He was there for 20 years.

Clovis liked to garden, to fish and he was an avid deer hunter. He also loved observing and feeding the many ducks, geese and swans which graced his backyard pond. Nobody would have wanted to tease him about eating any of his ducks, either. He especially liked traveling with his wife and this took them to all 50 states and to several foreign countries. Survivors include his wife, Marlene; his sister, Eutha Miller: sister-in-law, Ann Hall; brother-in-law, Harold Kimmel; sister-in-law, Sylvia.

Would anyone no the ancestry of Edna's husband James R. Moore? Jane -------Original Message------- From: BLS Date: 03/18/13 19:59:42 To: Franklin County Subject: [ILFRANKL] MOORE, EdnaLouise (OBIT) Edna Louise (McClintock) Moore, 82, died Sunday March 17, 2013 at 5:10 P.M. At home. She was the second of four children born to the late Charley and Reba McClintock. She had an older sister, Vivian Ruth Yoder, who is currently in the Mt Vernon Health Care Center; a younger brother, Earl Richard (deceased); and the youngest of the four children (who died young), “Kenny Boy” McClintock. Edna married her childhood sweetheart, James R. Moore, May 21, 1950. They had two daughters, Cheryl Lynn of Johnston City and Shelly Kay of Bloomington, Illinois. Cheryl married Dennis Bernhardt and they have one son Jaymes Floyd. Shelly married Mark Nelson and they have a son, Marshall Alexander and a daughter, Elizabeth Marie. Edna had one great granddaughter, Jaydon Bernhardt. Edna was born and spent her young days in West Frankfort, Illinois prior to the family moving to Johnston City where she graduated from Washington Elementary and Johnston City High School. After high school in 1949, Edna began work as a seamstress for Smoller Brothers and from there she moved to being “the bookkeeper” for the Johnston City State Bank. Her bookkeeping talent carried her to a position with E. Blankenship and Company where she stayed until leaving to be with her husband in the United States Air Force. Her two years of experience as a bookkeeper landed her a position as “head bookkeeper” for the “Old National Bank” in Spokane, Washington. After three years and knowing she was going back to Southern Illinois with her husband, Old National held a special meeting for recognizing and praising her for outstanding service. Returning to Southern Illinois in 1956, she continued her bookkeeping career working for E. Blankenship and Company, Carterville State Bank, Martin Oil Company, and the Busey Bank in Urbana, Illinois. After retiring in 1965 to spend more time with her daughters, she later accepted a request by Paul and Katherine Odom to work in their store part time. She was there until the store closed. Edna was known for her detail, thoroughness, hard work, integrity, punctuality, and stick-to-it-ive-ness. Her knowledge and skill came through experience, reading, and self learning. She was held in high esteem by her friends and family as a cook and seamstress. She was loving, kind, humble, gentle, caring, courteous, beautiful inside and out, and her laughter was exuberant when she and her dearest friend and sister-in-law, Juda Grounds got together. Edna loved and cared for her own children and grandchildren, as well as her nieces, nephews, friends of her children, and children of the Church. So many times sacrificing self to share with others. Indeed, her love and caring for others was “real” and she shared it in many ways--ways that only a few ever knew about. No one had to sing her the song “stand by your man”—for her it came naturally. Edna cared for her mother for some fifteen years as well as her sister for over three years, both of whom suffered from Alzheimer’s. Edna Louise Moore earned her PhD in SHARING the old fashioned way, by doing. A lasting and true friendship, even to this day, developed very early in life for Edna. That friendship was with Phyllis Sanders. No closer friendship ever existed. It was a friendship of love, trust, and devotion. At the age of fifteen Edna was baptized into Christ and as a member of the First Christian Church in Johnston City, she taught bible lessons for over thirty years as well as serving in a diversity of ministries. Visitation will be at the Murman & Wilson Funeral Home in Johnston City on Wednesday, March 20 between 12:00 and 2:00 P.M. Funeral services, under the direction of her husband Jim Moore, will follow and begin at 2:00 P.M. Burial will be in the Lakeview Cemetery in Johnston City. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ILFRANKL-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
