Margaret, There was a divorce granted to Mary Short on 13 Jan 1900. The defendant was Chas. M. Short. I have no other information about this. Chas. LeRoy Abbott died Nov. 14, 1939. He was buried in Grove Hill Cemetery, Morrison, IL on Lot 13 Section N. He was a resident of Fulton at the time of his death. Also buried on the same lot are the following people: Bruce Bonebrake 9/26/1932 Catharine Bonebrake 3/26/1917 Samuel Bonebrake 3/20/1908 Alfred M. Burkitt 6/30/1926 Joseph Burkitt 2/27/1910 Lois Elizabeth Burkitt 2/12/1917 Lois E. Milligan 1/30/1907 I have no information other than what is listed.
