Let me know if you are missing infor. and I'll see if I can help you, too. Do you by any chance have a photo of Wm.Gebhart or info. on his parentage? Debra

After over 30 years of searching for information about my great-great grandparents, Charles Rogers and Eliza Phillips, I have finally been handed a genealogy gold mine. A very nice man answered my online query and said his family had the information I wanted. He had original letters and documents dated from 1819 to 1836. They lived in Knoxville from 1844 until their deaths in 1898. This has been so exciting. If this gentleman had not shared, I would never have found the information. Lucille

She died August 14, 1903 in Jacksonville, Illinois, but was buried in Galesburg. I don't know what cemetery she is buried in, but was hoping there might be additional information on her family. Believe she had daughters Seraphina, Frances and one whose married name was Hellrigel. I believe she had lived in Peoria, Illinois and was married to Mathias Bechtold.

There is no hospital there. In the early 1900s it had as many as three grocery stores at one time as well as a grain elevator, railroad station, a church, and several other businesses but to my knowledge has never had more than a hundred people. It is located right on the Knox county line and some records for Rapatee people will be in Fulton County. Hope this helps. Clint Cannon

I too would be interested in the records of the Almshouse as my gggrandmother Susan Watkins born 1832 died there 17 May 1926. I haven't been about the determine where she is buried as I believe the last burial for the Almshouse was abt 1922..........Appreciate any info anyone is willing to share. Thank you. Grace

Sorry to say but I don't know any relatives on either side other than the James and Ellen's children. I do know that James and Ellen Russell Egan married in Montreal, Canada at St. Andrews. They spent a couple years in NY and then came to Knox Co, Ill. He was born Ireland and she Scotland. None of the children as far as we know ended up in MI. There is a James Alexander Egan that dissapeared but we believe he was heading west towards Alaska.

Does anyone know if it is possible to order records from the Knox Co, Almshouse from the period of 1875 - 1900. My GGG Grandmother Ellen Egan was in there for many years follow her husband James John Egan's death. Would love to know more about her years in the home.

Sharon, thanks for the response. I have used the online maps on several occasions. However, I still wish to know whether the Galesburg Library has such maps physically available and perhaps someone on this list can verify that.

Would any list members know whether the Galesburg Library has plat books, aka atlas maps, of Knox County in the 1870 to 1900 time period? I would think they would, but perhaps someone on this list can verify that. Thanks for any help, Bob
