I know I had a lot of difficulty with this person. I had to follow it through his children he had with Gertrude (Curtis) (Howell)(King) Moss obituaries Francis (Howell)Bergmark, Clarence F Howell and Elwood Garth Howell. I was able to find him, and found the Date of death of Gertrude and their Children. I assumed they where divorced using the Census and obituaries, but since she wasn't on my direct line I stopped except for the 1900 Census listing her parents. I do know that there are a lot of helpful people on the Macon county board so if you request a birth Certificate maybe they will be able to help. On USGenWeb at http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilmacon/lookups.html they have a look-up section MACON COUNTY BIRTH RECORDS 1850 - 1900 Index - - - Barb Madsen (I haven't requested a look-up since My line was born in Indiana) Sorry I couldn't be more help.
