Posted on: Mason County, IL, Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Il/Mason/78 Surname: Maness, Guthrie ------------------------- My grandparents were George and Atha (Guthrie)Maness. My father was Charles Arthur (Art), the oldest of their children. John was the 2nd and lived in Mason City, Mason County, IL all of his life and his widow, Betty, still lives there. I have been in touch with his son and a granddaughter trying to get some information together. The others were Lester, Thurman and Tom. I really don't know much about the family. I do remember Dad talking about Charlie, and if I'm not mistaken I think we may have visited him one time in the late 50's, when we were in IL. And I remember him mentioning Aunt Gert and Ellie. Sorry I can't be of much help. I will forward your message to John's son and we can hope that he may know something. And I would appreciate hearing anything you may know about them. I didn't even know that they had come from Calico Rock, AR.
