Dorothy, I grew up west of Vandalia. I went to the Browning one room gradeschool. My grandparents Ernest & Morna HIMES live beside the BROWNING Cemetery. Cliff OSBORN lived across the road from them. I went to school with Franklin OSBORN. His older brother Gene OSBORN lived down the road from grandpa HIMES. Are you related to the OSBORN in Fayette Co, IL? Is your husband related to the LAY of Ramsey, Illinois? My grandmother Morna Evalene (BESS) HIMES had ELAM cousins related to OSBORN. I have an uncle Kenneth LAY in Ramsey, Illinois. http://members.truepath.com/beverly/index.html Feliz Navidad from New Mexico, Beverly Jane (HIMES) BARGER ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, November 26, 2000 4:58 AM Subject: Re: [ILMONTGO] Sammons > Hello, > I don't know who you are but I knew Marian and Gus Sammons.
