HEY VOLUNTEERS! I just got a gorgeous photo of a distant ancestor from a 1917 high school yearbook from New Britain CT. Why don't you let all your lists know what yearbooks you, or your local library have access to? I, for one, in Ford County, IL own most of Gibson City Drummer and Gibson City High School yearbooks from 1917 - 1982; and others I can look up at our local library...I think they have them all. gail hahn hutchcraft Ford County, Il volunteer ladybuggc@sbcglobal.net

Hi Joan I found this mention of Wooded Island you can find the entre article at http://www.state.il.us/hpa/Courthouse.htm Cris <snip> "When the St. Louis Fair ended, the building was again auctioned. Purchased on behalf of the Chicago Historical Society and the Chicago Centennial Commission, in 1905 the timbers were shipped to Chicago's Jackson Park; the courthouse was reconstructed, smaller yet, on Wooded Island. " The following can be found at http://postcards.twobees.com/chicago/ and has pictures.. "Wooded Island, Jackson Park Chicago, Illinois Postmarked: August 5, 1915 Divided back Jackson Park is located on the south side, extending 1 1/8 miles along Lake Michigan from 56th to 67th Streets. It has a total of 543 acres. It contains nearly 8 miles of drives, numerous walks and bridle paths, 107 acres of artificial lakes and 15, 315 square yards of outdoor gymnasiums.

An interesting view of the Wooded Island is the Cahokla Court House, said to be the oldest public building in the Mississippi Valley. It was built about the year 1716 at Cahokla, Illinois

Does any one know of or where i might get a copy of this phot that was published in paper.The pioneers in the city of Macomb,the Pioneer Club of McDonough July 1905 and August 16, 1905 Thank You Cheryl

I found Eli and I see he said his mother tongue (and that of his wife's) was Jewish. You really need to check out that Hebrew Cemetery if you haven't already done so. Joan in Illinois

Some of these big courtyard buildings in Chicago had 4-6 entrances,and each entrance might be numbered 6953 (apartments to the left of the lobby) and 6955 (apartments to the right of the lobby), so I imagine you are correct. The last building I lived in was a six-flat - 7719 to the left of the entrance and 7721 to the right. I'll have to get some more input from my sister since I can't find it on the Cook County Assessor's site. All they show are some little bungalows and the like. I think there must have been some renumbering. Hard to believe they'd tear down a building that size. Thanks for your time. Joan

The Wendell (Utah) and Georgia (IL) PHILLIPS family are grouped with five families that show 6953-63 Woodlawn Avenue. The next entries after that group on Woodlawn Ave are 6949 and 6947 so I can only guess that the PHILLIPS were on about 6955 WoodLawn. Shows Wendell L. 30 Utah Georgia H. 34 IL Lowell C. 5 IN Jean R. 4 IN Russell 1 IL RC in TX.
