My grandfather from St. Louis County married Mary Elizabeth Ary in Alvin 8 January 1890. I would like to find any newspaper article relating to it. If there was a newspaper do you have it on microfilm at the local library or genealogical society? Thank you!! Chris

I am researching my family in the US, and have had some wonderful help fromvarious people on this list. However, we have now come to another brick wall, and I am asking if anyone might have the information that I am seeking. The family I am interested in is that of Charles Augustus Willmer (Wilmer). He married Maggie Thurman and they had at least 6 children, 5 of them being - George K, Mary L, Clara E, Lena and my grandfather Archie. George married Martha Allice, Mary L married JW Ervin, Clara married first Albert Cox,and second Owen Cline, Lena married Winnie Linne. Archie married mygrandmother here in Australia. There are connections in IL, IN OH and MO. If anyone has any information on any of these families, could they please contact me. Thank you Gladys Lavender (Cessnock, Aust)

Gladys, can you give us some dates or date ranges to anchor these people in time?

I, too, am looking for another Johnson family in Vermilion County. Not surprising, considering what a common surname Johnson is, I suppose. Lydia Seals b. 1830 m. James Harvey Johnson b. 1830. Their children were Eliza J, Margaret Elizabeth, James Alvin, John, Sarah Belle, Rolla, and William Carther. Michele

Does anyone have a list of the students who attended Thompson School abt. 1900? I was sent a picture of the students but cannot identify any of them.

Yes, they have deaths from 1877 to 1903. But don't hold your breath. They were not consistant with recording deaths.Pape Mortuary has his date of death as 4-9-1889 buried Woodlawn. If recorded, there was very little genealogical info listed. Granny
