Looking for Bonnie Strawn. Can you email me please? (Has to do w/your web site.) Ruthie

I am looking for info on a May or Mary STEVENS (I've seen it both ways in the census repts) who lived in Lafayette in 1900 and 1910 on Queen Street at what was originally her grandmother Eliza (Murdock) STEVENS' property, with her mother Mary and stepfather Edward MACKESSY. By 1920, she is not listed there anymore. On the Tippecanoe website, I took a look at the index for the newspaper 1900-1950, and saw an entry for a May Stevens and Lewis O'Counell married Nov 24, 1913. However, I can't find any entry for an O'Counell in the census for 1930, and am wondering if that is a misspelling on the newspaper index. Does anyone have access locally to the marriage records that could cross check that for me? I'd hate to think I was barking up the wrong tree w the misspelling... Thanks in advance. --Jacqi

His mother died when he was a lad of nine years, and his father subsequently married again.

He was a man highly esteemed throughout the community in which he lived, and was ever noted for honesty and uprightness of character. In early life he was a member of the Lutheran church, but on coming to this county he fo! und no church of his choice, and became connected with the United Brethren, and later became a member of the Christian church, and died in that faith. MRS. ELY died July 10, 1887, of paralysis, after a lingering illness. Both MR. and MRS. ELY will long be remembered for their Christian and benevolent virtues. Of their eleven children ten are still living, eight being residents of Tippecanoe County.
