Have you looked in the census on line that is on the Vermilion County Web page? Welcome to Vermilion County, Illinois - UsGenWeb Project The only problem with this is that the handwriting is interpreted by yet another transcriber. I found Wilis Hymon & Ada in the 1900 Georgetown Twp.States Ada had 6 children 4 living he is a miner. 1910 I found them in St. Joseph Twp in Champaign Co, Ill. 1880 I found 3 Hymer families in Clay Co, MO all born in KY. One was a 58 year old Willis Hymer You must get creative in the spelling of the names. Willis could be Willie, Will, Wm. William & Hymer could be Heimer, Hamer, Hammer, Hymon. the familysearch.org (Mormon site) has the 1880 census available. There isn't an 1890 census, it was destroyed. City Directories fill for that time period. Children that I could make out were Marie 8, 1881 P. R.? 6-1890 Son ? 1892 William B. 2, 1900 1910 I have Henry 18, Willis 10, Clellie 7 & Theodore 4 & James 2 States had 7 children 7 living Also Otto H. Hymer 21 working as servant in another household in champaign Co. Good Luck
