Sandy, I am a member of the society also and have Cemetery Book 2 (Kinmundy, Meachum, Alma & Omega and would be glad to do look-ups if you can add me to the web-site. My great grandparents, John Michael Brenner & Dora Wetter Brenner were married in Salem by J.P. on Sept. 11, 1877. Marriage was recorded in ss#143, Volume OOD, Page 117, according to Illinois Marriages Records that I found on IL state web-site. Could you call the County Clerk's office and find out if they would have a certificate and/or the application for marriage? I would be glad to send a check for whatever. I have been unable to find anything that shows where in Bavaria he was born. He owned Brenner lumberyard in Kinmundy and a great deal of property along with my great, great grandfather, George L. Brenner. They settled in Kinmundy 1866-67, and Geo. died in mid 1895, followed by John Michael (age 49) in Nov. 1895. Great grandma, Dora, grandpa John George, and great aunt Mae C. remained till 1912. Mae married Charles Fenster, son of Gottlieb Fenster, one of the early settlers also. They were married in Kinmundy on June 8, 1897 and was recorded in Book E, Page 56, Line 104, but when I was up there last Oct., I asked for a copy of the marriage license, but they couldn't find it. Did not know where it was recorded at the time, though. Think I could find out anything now?
