Since my local library will not request obits from out of country, I'm hoping someone could look up the following for me. Charles Koller Born July 1, 1864 Died May 7, 1899 at the age of 34. He was killed by cars. His occupation is recorded as farmer. He belonged to Camp No. 1176 located in Highland Park Illinois. The above info was provided to me by M.W.A If I can get a copy of his obit it may help me in identifying which side of the family he belonged to as a woman from both sides of my families married a Koller. I also have an old business card with H.J. Coller on it, so I'm really confused! It may also help me to identify a memorial photo I have. Obit can be sent by email or snail mail if SKS can do this for me ;o) Thank you Brenda G. [email protected]

Hi Ray, M.W.A. stands for Modern Woodmen of America. Camp, from what I can understand is much like I would suspect the legion here in Canada is. Each legion has a branch number. Each Camp number for the Modern Woodmen was diferent. I would think branch and camp would be more or less the same thing. -Brenda ----- Original Message ----- From: Raymond McCraren <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, April 01, 2001 3:26 PM Subject: [[ILLAKE]: ] Re: [[ILLAKE]: ] obituary lookup > Hi C Gaetz : To help me what is camp and what is M.
