    2. Hi, First let me give a BIG thank you to those who have helped me with my recent queries on the Wayne County list. Thank you really doesn't cover the overwhelming feeling of gratitude I have. What a great list. Now I have another question: William P. Henson, b. ca 1875 Wayne Co. IL., married Maude Clair Burroughs on 2 June 1901, Wayne Co. IL. He and Maude had close ties to Wayne Co. IL but moved to Walnut Hill, Marion Co. IL. About 1909 William (who may have used the name Jess) went to SE Missouri to work in the timber. It is said he was killed in an accident while working. Does anyone have access to old newspapers that might be indexed to see if there is an obit listed for William? Since he was from around the Wayne Co. IL area I thought there might be an obit for him. Or for Maude who died on 9 April 1928. Maude had married after the death of William and Mr. Thomas Perry "Tom" Lee. Thanks for any help you can give me. Warm Regards, Lois Branch
