Posted on: Whiteside Co. Illinois Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Whiteside/805 Surname: SCHIFFERDECKER, MORSER, DENTON ------------------------- I just received wonderful new-found information about my grandfather's family, Clyde Township, Whiteside County. (Thank you J. Hamstra for fast response! Wow!) The marriage certificate indicates that a E. H. Smith solomnized the marriage ceremony (1879)in Morrison. Mr. Smith is noted as a certain type of minister -- I can't read the handwriting and thought that possibly someone on this list would know what it is. It appears to be "bougt" minister. Perhaps "borge" minister. Or "lonyt" minister. As you can see, I haven't a clue. Thanks for any ideas you might have. -Marsha
