Thank you for replying to my e-mail even though you are not not in my line. Is the History of Menard and Mason Counties available anywhere for sale or is just in your library? If I could obtain a copy of this book or if it is available in the library here in St.louis, Mo,I could do the research and save you from typing it. I think most of the people you mentioned from this book are possibly in my family line. I know Harry Brent is my grandather and Stella Brent was Harry's sister. Martha Hainline was married to William Brent(Harry and Stella parents) and are possibly my great grandparents. If I cannot get hold of this book , I would appreciate any information you will be willing to type on these individuals. Thank you. Thomas D. Brent
