I did find a couple of addresses you may or may not have tried that may be able to help you further. Jersey County Historical Society (2002 information) 604 N. State St., Jerseyville.

Pearl St. Jerseyville, IL 62052-1675 Phone (618) 498-5571 The County Clerk, above, may have a probate file for Mary. If so it could be a gold mine of information. The public library may be able to find an obituary for Mary. I wish I could help you more, but this is the best I could do. Good luck in your search. Bob
