There were 3 articles in the paper. June 16 was just a "card of thanks" June 13 was a "normal" obituary. It stated that her husband had died more that fifteen years before in Kansas, and 8 children The June 25th one is a rather nice obit, which I typed in but got lost in cyberspace (my computer went down) states her husband died Feb. 8, 1889. Names 9 children. Our public library charges $1.00 for each copy from microfilm. Just put $2.00 plus a SASE and send it to the Streatorland Historical Society for the Jun 13 and June 25 obituaries. Plus we would appreciate a donation. I took notes from the following obituaries: George M. who married Margaret Anderson. died on Saturday, (Jan 26, 1929) at his dau. home, Mrs. Caroline (Jabez) Morrison at 307 W. Lincoln Ave. Buried from Solon's Funeral Home in Phillips. born September 26, 1846 in Ohio. married in Ottawa to Margaret Anderson. Their children were: George of Streator and Edward of Moore, Mont. and Mrs. Morrison. he was a teamster and employed in one of the local livery stables and was therefore widely known. Margaret, his wife died in Sept. 1904 of cancer at St. Mary's hospital, she was born in 1845 in La Salle Co. and buried in St. Mary's Cemetery in Streator. Her obituary has four children: Mrs. William Edward of Otter Creek. Mrs. DAVID Morrison and Edward and George.

Rice, they moved out west, Kansas, Wyoming??I did some research on the Rice family a long time ago, but don't know if he fits into that family. Do you know more about them? James P. died Jun 19, 1949 at St. Mary's Hospital and was buried in Phillips. was buried from Elias Funeral Home and was in the coal & Lumber business, (he might have be engaged in the hauling of coal & lumber, since the other bros. were teamsters?)
