Gloria On another mail list I'm on, the list administrator gave information saying that the cost for a Civil War Pension record file would go from $40 to $125 per request. Also, it was noted that if anyone wanted to send messages to the NARA indicating their opposition to the proposed changes that it should be done individually. Individuals that work together and put their name on the same message will be counted as just one opposition because there was only one message. This holds true for other issues as they are brought out to the attention of the public.

Thank you once again. It looks like this Elizabeth Kellam isn't the Harker as her birthplace was Delaware and her age would have been 32 in 1870 but I know there were mistakes on the census. I will check into the death record and see if I can find the maiden name and that would settle it. Thanks again for your help.

Thank you for the information. I hadn't seen the 1860 census. Seems she was still at home at 23 years old. Henrietta Harker (her sister) was my grandmother's grandmother. She always thought there was a family connection with the Kellam family and hers. Edgar Kellam is buried in Piasa with his wife listed only as "Lizzie". I find a marriage record for him with a Mary Goodall Bailey in 1882 but this could have been a second marriage for him as he was born around 1838 or so. I will keep looking. Thanks again.

You are welcome to use them. I have no idea which newspapers they came from. My step-grandmother gave them to me years ago, long after grandpa died.

Not sure if this will help anyone, but this is the obituary of my great-grandmother Lydia Elizabeth Harr Lemarr/LeMarr. I have the original scanned and would be glad to send it if anyone is interested. Regina Obituary Column of Lydia Harr Lemarr/LeMarr Obituary Lydia Elizabeth Harr, was born in Sullivan County, Tennessee, June 13, 1861 and departed this life at her home at Palmyra, Feb. 4, 1919, age 57 years, 7 months and 21 days. At age of five she came overland with her parents, Adam L. and Melvina Harr to Macoupin County Ill. They settled on a farm near Barr, where she lived and grew to womanhood. At the age of fourteen she professed her faith in Christ and united with the M. E. church at Barr, where she remained a member until the organization of the Free Methodist church in South Palmyra; said church now located at Hettick, Ill. At that time she and her husband united with this church and remained active members until the moved to Palmyra in 1899. She was united in marriage to Francis Marion LeMarr, August 5, 1883; to which union five children were born. She was always a favorite in the community in which she lived, and among the first to respond when others needed assistance; a faithful neighbor; a loyal companion and a gentle, kind, loving mother. Her parents, four brothers, John, Luther, Robert and James; two sisters, Sarah Padget and Mollie Hungerford, have preceded her to the other shore. She leaves to mourn her departure, a husband, three sons, Samuel Ernest of LeRoy, Paul Earl of Camp Funston and Clinton Ebert, "Somewhere in France." Two daughters, Louella Ethel Porter of Edinburg and Ora Edith Fullington of Carlinville; two brothers, William Harr of Barr and Jacob Harr of Palmyra; two sisters, Susan Neece of Palmyra and Harriet Dugger of Scottville; six grandchildren and a host of relatives and friends. Funeral services were held in the M. E. church in Palmyra, Friday, February 7, 1919 by the pastor, Rev. Rhinehart. The body was taken to Oak Hill Cemetery and laid to rest and laid away with loving gentle hands, to await the resurrection morn. Pallbearers, John W. Duncan, C. S. Mahan, J. A. Turner, Charley Solomon, H. E. Standefer and F. P. Gangwer.
