Hi Joanie, I now know that Nellie McGrath Rice married Arthur Gretencord in 1914, under the name of Nellie McGrath. In Minnie Rice's obituary which you sent me, it said that Opal Rice, her grandson, had made his home with Minnie since the death of his mother (Nellie) about four years earlier. That would be 1927 or 28. Is there some kind of index for the newspaper obituaries? I looked for Nellie Gretencord in the Illinois Death index, but couldn't find a record for her. Yet it appears that the Gretencord family lived around Grand Ridge beyond that time, and Arthur Gretencord is in the SS death index as having died in Feb. of 1979 and his last residence was in Grand Ridge, LaSalle Co. So it appears likely that she would have died in LaSalle County. Thanks for any help. Joy
