BRUSH, MARRIED TO IVUS SISTLER, son of FRED (John Frederick SISTLER on April 10, 1904, Johnson County, IL / no children. MARTHA 1886-1973, MT ZION CEMETERY...she was living with her sister, Ruby, when she died. HER TOMBSTONE SAYS SHE WAS BORN IN 1888. ACCORDING TO SISTLER FAMILY RECORDS, 1888 WOULD BE IN ERROR, SO I OPTED TO STAY WITH October, 1886 SINCE THERE WERE NO CHILDREN. IVUS 1885-1942 MT.

GRISHAM WAS A SALESMAN AND LISTED IN THE 1900 CENSUS FOR WEBSTER PRECINCT. I THINK MINNIE MARRIED AT A VERY TENDER AGE OF 13 OR 14, BUT I AM NOT SURE. THE MARR DATE RECORDED WAS October 31, 1894, Pope Co, IL (Vol A-1, pg 200-#00001800). IF SHE WAS BORN May 1881 AND JIM WAS BORN December 1876, IT LEAVES ME TO WONDER IF THE DATES ARE WRONG.
