Joan, My Grandparents were Hugh and Lena Haddick. Hugh died December 2, 1918 and then Lena went to work at the shirt factory to support her children. When Hugh died they lived on Everett Street and later moved to Bridge Street, which is where I think Lena and her boys lived while she was working at the shirt factory. Thank you very much for any help. Jane Joan wrote: > > Greetings from Streator, > I have having a mental block right now, and all I can remember is > "Paris Garter". But there were others.

Just Curious, Did Hugh lose a baby brother, James Richard Haddick in 1883. If so, were their parents, William and Jane Haddick, who are buried in Riverview? There are a Hugh (1891 - 1918) and William (1872 - 1937) buried in Riverview in Block 12. Is that your Hugh and his brother? I have been trying to match up obituaries, burial locations, church records, etc. The Christ Episcopal church has a burial record for James, but I can't find an obituary. Of course, back in 1883, babies and women rarely had obituaries. If this is your family, the Guild in Ottawa has some of the records from the Christ Episcopal Church.

Joan, Yes, these are my ancestors. William and Jane Haddick are my GGrandparents. And yes, that is my Hugh and his brother William. I don't think there is an obit for James Richard or his brother Joseph Ward Haddick born 1878 and died 1880. They are not buried at Riverview. I have tried to find their burial place but have not been successful. I do have obits for William, Jane, William Jr., Hugh, Hugh's children, Jane, Mildred, Harold, Hugh Jr., Jessie Dettelhouser nee Haddick and her husband Charles Dettelhouser, all buried at Riverview. If you would like copies of these I would be happy to send them to you. The Haddick family were members of Christ Episcopal Church. I have a confirmation certificate that my Dad received from the church when he was confirmed on June 23, 1920. His name was Robert and he would have been 16 years old at the time. C.P. Anderson was the bishop of the Chicago Diocese and Rev. James Foster was the priest at Episcopal Church at the time of comfirmation. My dad died 2002 at the age of 98. He was mind was as sharp as a tack and we spent many hours talking about his childhood in Streator. I am attempting to write a short biography of his life. If I can help you with anything please let me know as I have obits and death certificates for every member of the Haddick family. Thank you for giving me the name of the shirt company. I wanted it for the biography. Jane Joan wrote: > > Just Curious, > Did Hugh lose a baby brother, James Richard Haddick in 1883.
