Great-great grandfather, William, died in Chambersburg, 24 SEPT 1866. He was married to Sarah Thornton, of England. Children were Lucinda/LuEllen/Aunt Nellie, William Albert, Orpha A., and George T. Williamson. William and Sarah were married at Edwardsville, Madison Co. IL, 23 June 1858. Believe family may have removed to Pike Co. Later (1870), Sarah and children are in Wapella, DeWitt Co. IL. The children were placed in the Normal, IL Soldier's and Sailor's Orphange. The children were later released back to their mother. It is probable that William Williamson, born 1832, was likely buried somewhere in Chambersburg area. I have been searching for many, many years for him. Recently received papers about orphange showing William's death date, and where he died. He was also with the 144th Alton Battalion, CO A. during the CW. Thanks for any info. Shari in SC

Ella was reared on a farm and came to Pearl more than twenty years ago, entering the employ of Dr. and Mrs. W.H. Garrison in whose home she remained until her marriage to Alonzo F. Patton, May 14, 1913. "Lon" as he was called by his friends was taken from her by death on Dec. 16, 1925.

Ella obeyed the gospel when quite young, joining the church at Green Pond under Brother Booth, but when she came to Pearl she moved her membership to the Christian Church and became active in the work of the church. It can be said that she hath done what she could. In reflecting over the twenty years that I have known her I can see in her life the fruits of the spirit of Christ, such as love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness and of her Christian traits that make up the character that God will reward with enternal life. Ella had a wide circle of friends whose hearts were saddened by her passing. Besides her husband, she leaves four sisters, Mrs. Lola Bissel of Nebo; Mrs. Artie Goldman and Mrs Dora Foreman of Milton; and Mrs. Lenna Smith of Pittsfield; two brothers, Wesley Cox of near Pearl and William Cox of Pittsfield, and other relatives and friends to mourn her departure.
