Michele, Thanks for looking for me. Someone did find it under the spelling "Langan" and Margaret Thomas. I would not have thought of looking under the mis-spelling. I would like the obit. of Thomas Langdon, if it's not too much trouble. Some of the Langdon brothers stayed in IL rather than go to NE with William's family. Would be nice to see if this Thomas was a descendant of one of them. Every little piece fills in part of the puzzle, doesn't it?

I do have an obituary for a Thomas Langdon, d. 16 Jan 1922 Let me know if you are interested. Minooka didn't originate until 1852. It is also right at the intersection of three counties, Will, Grundy and Kendall. People who lived in this area often attended church in Morris or Dresden, Grundy or Channahon and Joliet in Will County. Good Luck!
