I'm looking for information about the following families. I'll apologize in advance for the long message. =) I am a descendant of the Hogue and Corrie families, on my grandmothers side. I started my search about mid-January, after being intrigued by a chart of a family (pedigree?) tree that was my boyfriends grandfathers history.... Anyways, I have about 180 names into my family tree maker, and I desire more. Stories too. My main people are Frank and Marietta (Mary) Henderson Hogue. Also, James M. Corrie who married my gg aunt Lila Hogue. However, James was first married to Ida Herrold, I believe she died after the birth of her 3rd child. I would like to find any info I can about these families. Here's some stats.... Frank Hogue b. June 3, 1869 d. 1953---Marietta Henderson b. Oct. 22, 1879 d.1939----they were married in 1897, they had 8 children, one girl died at 3 days old. They moved to LaSalle County, IL from Schenectady and New Berlin, NY. _____________ In Marshall Co. there was a Margaret Hogue, "Oldest Tree Farmer", however, I don't have the publication date of the newspaper article. -----Mrs. Margaret Hogue..., she is 91. Six years ago she contacted the Illinois Division of Forestry. Ernest W. Kunze, farm forester at Charleston, visited the tract and suggested that it be put under tree farm management. Mrs. Hogue agreed. The volume for removal was only 8000 board feet; it was used on the farm for building repairs. But the big job was the timber stand improvement work: another over-all part of a sound forest management plan recommended by the forester. I would like to find Margaret's connection to my family, if there is one. I don't suppose my great grandmother would have put this article in the scrapbook if it didn't have some significance. Now, James M. Corrie. b. 1871 d. 1941---Lila Hogue b. March 6, 1902 d. April 1975---Ida Herrold b.1879-1920.. don't have wedding dates for either. James and Ida had 3 children. James and Lila had about 10 children. James and Lila moved to California at some point, but they are buried in Marseilles, IL cemetary. Other...
