Dear Scott, I believe the "Silver Bros. Lumber Yard" you spoke of is one that belongs to descendants of this same SILVER branch. In fact, I'm going to Illinois in Aug. too, but southern Illinois. I do plan on visiting Georgetown to visit a distant cousin, Ray Silver, who is related to the ones with the Silver Lumber Co. I'd appreciate any info. you learn about the THEOBOLDS or SILVERs. Thanks. Beth
