Dear Donna: Yes I would like to see it. Elijah was John Ead's eldest son, his wife was Mary Anne Foreman, and my Mother has his and her pictures. The pictures are from a studio in Galesburg. Also the obituary on Hannah Eads says "H. R. Eads" and her daughter "Mrs. Kate Stitson". Is that a typo or does the obit read that way? Kate's name was Stilson, and I think Hannah's middle initial should be K or P, not R. Kate Stilson was by then also a widow and her only child (my grandfather) was only 9; he was 7 when his father died. Judge Harvey, his uncle by marriage, helped him with college. thanks for all your help, Edward Baltzer ----- Original Message ----- From: "donna smith" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, March 06, 2004 6:48 PM Subject: Re: [ILKNOX-L] Kate (Eads) Stilson; Hannah K ({Proctor) Eads > Have you seen the obit of Elijah T.
