Hi Ginny, Idon't have where Louise MUENIER died but I presume she also died in Kankakee, IL. Until a few weeks ago I knew my Ancestor only as STEBBINS, Alexander. I presume that he was a follower of your ancestor, Fr. CHINIQUY. I have no proof. I presumed that you might have more information to furnish. The information that I have about the children is in this Descendants Chart for the father.
