Surnames: Drake, Bowles Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Yh.2ADE/1933 Message Board Post: I'm looking for a Harvey Drake born in Emma Township, IL, around 1871. He married Rosa Pearl Bowles (sp?) around 1895. It seems there are Drakes and Harveys, but I can't find a Harvey Drake. Family lore says he was killed by a train in Carmi in 1906. Rosa's descendants ended up in SE Missouri. Any help appreciated.

I did find these marriages in the IL Marriage index. The last one is suggestive, but the date is way off. The 2nd one is not in White Co. but could be a Harvey b. 1871. The first one is too early, wrong co. and wrong initial for Rosa P. I didn't see anything like a possible Rosa Bowles.
