The wedding announcement of Maggie to Birt Claypool includes the information that Maggie and Birt were married at the home of James and Mary Jenkins. This would have been May 5, 1894. That is the last record I know of that pertains to my great grandparents. Maggie and Birt died in the late 1940's and are buried in Leonard Cemetery just off Bowman Avenue just north of the airport. Does anyone know of any more information (death dates, place of burial etc.) on James and Mary? From the descriptions I get by "family legend" it wouldn't surprise me to find that they lived somewhere in Vermilion County, probably in the Bismarck area (Ross or Newell Townships) but I have no way to be confidently assertive in that idea.
