I had family in Pairie City and in London Mills. My great-grand parents were Ellis and Gerta Dyekman. They lived in London Mills in their later years. I remember walking down town in the summer and listening to the band in the park by the river. I spent alot of my summer time with my extended families in Il. as a child. At one time my grandfather, George Enoch Sherman ran a grocery store in London Mills. One year he gave away plates to his customers. I would love to get my hands on one of these. Later on my grandfather lived in Prairie City and was then married to the post mistress, Agnes Sherman. She was there for many years. She still lives in Prairie City now. My Uncle Ben Sherman used to deliver mail to Ellisville I think. He now lives in Bushnell. My mother and father, Raymond Dale Myers and Imogene Rae Sherman Myers moved to Kansas when I was only 2 yrs old. I have many memories of the grandparents and summer vacations.
