--=======105B19A5======= Content-Type: text/plain; x-avg-checked=avg-ok-3D17724A; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit About a week and a half ago I posted that my uncle had just died (John Cattoir of Moline) and that I would get back to work on the site soon. I am sorry to say that ANOTHER of my uncles has passed away and I was very close to this one as well. I tlaked to him just the day before he died. At that time he was supposed to be released from the hospital the next day. He took a sudden turn for the worse and went quietly in his sleep. I am posting his obit here as he was a Kewanee native. Please forgive me but I am simply not up to looking anything up or working on death and cemetery records right now.
