There are some gaps in my info and alot of questions...we pretty much match on info up until we get to John and Mary Felts and their offspring. I can find no definitive record of them from 1870 on...I find Huldah Davis Felts listed with her parents on the 1870 Carroll Census with 2 children, Emmet Lawrence and Melinda L. Felts, marriage license (March 13, 1867)filed in Carroll County confirms she is the wife of Columbus Houston Felts, however he is not listed on any records that I can find during that time frame. That is the last record I have on Huldah and the children. (1) We match on his Civil War Service record. (2) I then have record indicating a Columbus Houston Felts living in Illinois in 1883, born in Va with matching dob, have marriage record to a Rachel Clark: Columbus H. Felts found in: Illinois, 1851-1900 Marriage Index Gender: The gender of Columbus H. Felts is male. Spouse: Rachel Clark Marriage Date: Apr 24, 1889 County: Edgar More About: This record can be found at the County Court Records, Film # 1301880 - 1301882. (2) Then he shows up in census records in Illinois abt 1900 with another wife Annie Almira Allison and a son Bernard Felts (b abt 1886).

Now to Emmet Lawrence Felts... (2nd great grandfather) After the 1870 census I find no record of him until: (1) Carroll County Marriage records his marriage to Rosamond Felts on Set 27, 1887. (2) The next record is the 1900 Wythe County census record listing who I believe to be Emmet, Rosamond and 4 children ( 3 daughters and 1 son).

Both are buried in Fries Cemetery. He died aft 1930 and she died in 1986. Their son Charlie Raymond born abt 1921 is my grandfather. (1) 1920 Grayson County Census Record: Name: Emett Felts Home in 1920: Old Town, Grayson, Virginia Age: 22 years Estimated birth year: abt 1898 Birthplace: Virginia Relation to Head of House: Head Spouse's name: Lena Father's Birth Place: Virginia Mother's Birth Place: Virginia Marital Status: Married Race: White Sex: Male Home owned: Rent Able to read: No Able to Write: No Image: 392 Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Emett Felts 22 Lena Felts 32 Estel Felts 1 10/12 (2) 1930 Grayson lists the family in Oldtown District with additional children, Charlie, Virginia, Noah and Clifford. Now perhaps you could help me with the holes in my info: Where are John and Mary Felts aft 1870 ? Did Huldah and Columbus divorce, did she die or ?? Where does the other children Lucille and Melinda fit in? Wonder where the children were and who with during the 1870-1887 time frame period? It has been a challenge trying to figure out Columbus's story...he married so many times and wandered here and there, who knows? Right now I am at my wits end with him and am going to leave him be for awhile. That is the extent of my info on the direct line of descendancy unless you want other family names, dates etc. What is your relationship to him and how? I appeciate your time and patience with me, this Family Research is new for me but it has grown very dear to me, it warms my heart to know my roots...

Hello LIsters Maybe someone might consider an untaken of everyone who knows of some one from Vermilion IL who had influenza and or died from it. There are alot of people who did die from it and maybe buried in a mass grave yard. If I had the time I would do a site for influenza in IL but I have more than enough work this summer with another site.

I'm guessing that rhematic fever has nothing to do with John's father's death, but rather is the cause of death for John, himself. And, I think your initial suspicion will pan out to be a correct one in that "John D. Handley" of the household of Jas. W and Mary Handley in the 1880 census could very well indeed be the man in the Pape database listed as John Hanley. If that is the case, then "your" John Handley would be my granduncle. His younger sister Maggie is my grandmother as she is the Maggie Claypool of the Mary (Jenkins) Hanley death notice for which I posted the link in my earlier post. Hope this helps!
