The 1891 history also contains background on Henderson and Bronaugh's wives. Louisa Bronaugh was the daughter of a Thomas Poindexter. There are streets in Virden named Bronaugh and Henderson. The librarian, Wanda Lake, at West Public Library, 142 W Jackson St., Virden, IL 62690, Tel. No. 217-965-3015, advises that a gentleman from California was interested in the Bronaugh, Poindexter, etc. families sometime ago. Are you aware of who this might be? She didn't keep the name and address, but did send them quite a bit of information. She is checking with the City Hall and will determine if a Bronaugh was ever mayor of Virden. Henderson was head of one of the banks as well as a large land holder. The email address of the Virden Library is: vie_ill@vax.lcls.lib.il.us Happy Hunting!
