There is an obituary for her in the Streator Free Press Daily She was buried from Wagner's funeral home in Streator Six? Children and from somewhere?? the notation that her husband died in Kansas. Since I don't have her obituaries, his death might have been listed on the page from Wagner's book. The Guild in Ottawa has the funeral home book. I should be able to get an obituary, but I can't walk around Phillips to find the grave, sorry.

Thank you so much Joanie. I would certainly appreciate it if you could get the obituary for me. I will be happy to pay any costs involved. This has been a large brickwall for me.
