There was a James Meade that lived about two miles from our residence here is SW rural Girard, IL, and believe his wife was Mary. They are both deceased as well as their eldest son, Jim, who died of cancer at a young age several years ago. Their other two sons are Roger and Mike. Roger and his wife, the former Julie Eller, live at 112 Cottonwood, Chatham, IL Tel. No. 217-483-2061 and Mike lives at R.R. 2, Girard, IL 62640, Tel. No. 217-627-2347. Mike has continued the occupation of brick laying, and is rather artistic in his designs. Hope this is who you are hunting. Good Luck!
