Edith Person's Lockyer daughter Rosemary Lockyer lives in TN and may like to have copy of book. Minnie Edith "Edith" PEARSON LOCKYER was born near Humansville, Polk County, MO March 6, 1885. Edith married Lucius William LOCKYER July 18, 1917 in Gillespie, Macoupin County, IL, at 32 years of age. Edith died December 4, 1982 in Knoxville, Knox County, TN, at 97 years of age. At the time of her death she resided with her daughter Rosemary. Obituary from The Carlinville Democrat, Carlinville, IL, Thursday, December 9, 1982: Minnie Edith Pearson Lockyer died Saturday in Tennessee Minnie Edith Pearson Lockyer, 97, formerly of Gillespie, died Saturday, at her residence in Knoxville, Tennessee. Born March 6, 1885 in Humansville, MO, she was the daughter of James Martin and Susan Clarissa Rose Pearson. She worked as a schoolteacher. Visitation was held from 7 until 8 o'clock Sunday evening, December 5, at Kravanya Funeral Home, in Gillespie. Services were held at 1 o'clock Monday afternoon at the United Methodist Church with Rev. Donald DuRall officiating. Burial was in Mayfield Memorial Park Cemetery, Carlinville. She was preceded in death by her husband Lucius William and a son James William Lockyer. Survivors include two sons, Jesse L. of Bellevue, Wash., and Charles R. of Frankfort, KY; one daughter, Miss. Rosemary S. Lockyer of Knoxville, Tenn.; one stepdaughter, Mrs. Robert Davenport of Carlinville; eight grandchildren and ten great grandchildren. Her body was interred Mayfield Cemetery in Carlinville, Macoupin County, IL. Minnie Edith Pearson was known as "Edith." When she was about five years old the family moved to Illinois to farm her deceased grandfather's land near Gillespie, IL. In 1911 they moved to Gillespie. Edith had dark hair and eyes. She said she tried to imitate her sister Ollie because people always praised her for being such a good little girl. One highlight of her earlier days was attending the World's Fair in St. Louis, MO in 1904. She earned a Teacher's Certificate, taught all grades in several county schools and later 6th Grade in Gillespie, IL. In the country schools she also served as her own janitor; in the beginning she came by horse and buggy, later on she rode the trolley part of the way and walked the rest. She was of the Methodist faith and for many years taught Sunday School. Edith wrote many poems for self-enjoyment and that of her friends and relatives, a number of which were published. She liked music, reading and traveling. She went to every state except Alaska. At 75 she, with her daughter Rosemary, made an 80-day trip around the world. She visited relatives in England, with her son Jesse and family stationed in Germany and with son Rob and family in Bangkok, Thailand. Historical events during the life of Minnie Edith "Edith" PEARSON Lockyer: Statue of Liberty arrives in NY harbor on June 19, 1885; Siam declared war on Germany and Austria on July 22, 1917; Democratic National Committee voted to admit women on September 27, 1919; Irish Free State is established on January 15, 1922; birth of Alan Sheppard, 1st American into space on November 18, 1923; birth of Peter Sellers, (not now, Kato) on September 8, 1925; Seiko began selling the TV-wrist watch - smallest TV yet on December 23, 1982. ************************************************************************ Following is copy of my favorite poem that Edith Pearson Lockyer wrote: Little Myrtie McPeak by Minnie Edith "Edith" Pearson Lockyer There was in our area A little babe very ill; Mother and a neighbor Stayed with it until The flame of life flickered, And then the spirit went Back to the God of love From whom it was sent. 'Twas in the early morn And ma could not speak Telling of the death Of little Myrtie McPeak. Myrtie left two brothers-- Oliver and Harry-- And two little sisters-- Bessie and Carrie. Perhaps neighbor men The little coffin made, And in it sorrowing women The little darling laid. I was a tiny girlie then And in the graveyard place I viewed the folded hands And wax-like baby face. The Babe's dress was long And made very neat; Someone lovingly folded it Over the baby's feet. And in the tiny coffin From the woodland bowers Someone gathered and placed within Timber daisy flowers. Kind men filled the grave When the rites were o'er Then sorrowing kin Knew they could do no more. On the wooden headstone I saw letters bespeak, Carved by a kindly hand-- "Little Myrtie McPeak." Many years have passed Since little Myrtie died, And they who loved her so Stood around and cried. I visit sometimes that graveyard place And think of her so meek Whose wooden headstone read "Little Myrtie McPeak." (Myrtle McPeak born March 19, 1894, died April 21, 1894 buried Wheeler Cemetery, Gillespie Township, Macoupin County, Illinois.) Kathie Mirabella

Hi ~ new to the list and wanted to present my names, as well as a request for assistance. Our names in this area in the period 1820-approx 1830 include CARTER, MABRY/MAYBERRY, SIDWELL. Would appreciate it if someone has access to the 1830 census and could check on p. 215/21 for the James Mabry/Maybury, Maximillian Mabry and the CARTER family who was living very nearby. Also on p 213/20 for Joel Mayberry and the CARTER neighbors. I'm hoping that the CARTER families will be Job and Elizabeth (Mayberry) Carter......... Thank you for your time. Sherre

We were just there, It is between Stanford in Lincoln Co, and Liberty in Casey Co, but it is in Lincoln Co. Coming from Stanford take US 150 (E Main ST) West to SR 78 West to SSR1194. Go West (only way to go) for awhile down a road surrounded by lots of trees in full fall foilage. It is the prettiest picture I have ever seen. It is quite a way and you come to a cement bridge (that's the way it was described to us). Turn Right immediately across bridge. It is called Moore Lane. Follow it a little way and you run into church. The trees are everywhere. They have tried to clean it up, but stones are hard to read. Many stones are gone and they have put white crosses in their places. I have pictures, I'll post when developed. There is a nice stone by the church dedicated to all those who are buried there. The last of it says something like "The good shepherd knows his flock". We couldn't talk to the pastor. He was away, his son had just died. We have his address if anyone wants it. I'm going to call him next week and ask him about the church, etc.Our relatives are buried next to the church. His stone is broken in half.You can tell that they are trying to clean it up. If you leave it to me, I'm going to try to get a listing of those buried there. If they have it and I'll see about posting it.It isn't very large. I only wish that we had more time there. Everyone was very nice and helpful in both counties. We joined the Historical Society in Lincoln Co, and met President. We also joined the geneology club in Casey County. We will be in contact with them.

Could someone please tell me who would have the voting registrations records in Macoupin County for someone who lived in Virden. This is the second time I've ask this question, and so far no response. Someone must know. I am trying to find where in Ireland my ancestor, Edward SCANLON came from. I've gotten many records, but they only say from IRELAND. The way I look at it, most new American's would have wanted to vote, and if they wanted to vote, then there must be a voters registrations. Edward was a naturalized citizen (in Scranton P.A. circa 1874) arrived in Virden late 1870's, worked as a coal miner, as did all his sons. Also could you please change my e-mail address to: sandy54@worldnet.att.net from: acre@sprynet.com Thanks Gwen

Yesterday my aunt sent me a newspaper article (it doesn't say what paper it is out of) about the museum Maridel and Arvel Fowler are planning in Bethalto. I would be happy to copy it and send it to anyone interested. Maridel's father, Bill, was one of my very favorite people in the whole world and I sincerely hope Maridel and Arvel have a great success. Please email me privately if you would like copies. I can scan and send online as an attachment, or I can photo copy and send it snail mail for reimbursment of postage. Pam

I once ordered the whole package in ignorance and received a marvelous batch of information about the family and the "estate" which was auctioned off to support the orphaned children, and included crops still in the ground. Since this was about 20 years ago from Madison county, I don't remember what I paid for the copies but for me it was worth it. Pamela Bane

Well, they haven't admitted it completely, yet, but I spent most of yesterday trying to upload 5 out of 41 jpegs Nancy Moore sent me of the Charity church book. I should have them up by now. Nancy has them in and soon as I can upload, Charity will be online. Driving me crazy. And, I hear rumblings from all over the US so must be - something about a company controlling something outside the NOC in Bakersfield CA. No official word from anyone tho'......just hearsay. If I hear official, I will let you all know.

My gg uncle, Henry Buescher, lived in the Staunton area in 1934 and I am trying to find if there were any other Bueschers [like his father or children] who live[d] there. The elder Heinrich Buescher was born about 1828 and emigrated to the US along with wife Elizabeth and other children in 1882. He probably died before 1900 as his widow Elizabeth was living with another son in the St. Louis area by then. The entire family was Evangelical in religion so they probably attended St. Paul United Church of Christ in Staunton or another United Church of Christ nearby. Any helps would be appreciated.
