Dear Lyde, Very interesting! The image I found on Ancestry.com has Henry and Laura living at 218 Warner (?) Ave. Other streets on the same page are Oak and Adams. Yahoo Maps doesn't bring up anything for Warner, though apparently there is a Warner Ave or Lane in present-day Peoria. Could you send the entire text for the Hoffner entry? Many thanks!
