I just recieved some documents from Madison County Circuit Court Some on a James J. Piper he died Dec 13 1913 (I believe). Surviving him - James A. Piper from Winchester, ILL. Gertrude Taylor from Winchester, Illinois and Ada Bayera Gruver from Farina, Illinois. And on a George M. Farris (he also went by G.M. Farris) died 29 Sept 1952. It looks as if Mae (May) E. Farris was his spouse and they had two children - Eldon B. from Alton and Mildred Mae Cook. I can't connect these to my Piper's and Farris' at this point so if you think you can make a connection to these folks drop me an e-mail - I'll be waiting to hear from you. -- Debi Fort Myers, FL df620@gate.net - - - - - - - - - I'm not stuck.
