The following obituary recently appeared in The News-Gazette, Champaign, Illinois: "Funeral services for Dearul G. Huckleby, 68, of Hoopeston (IL) will be at 1 p.m. Monday (March 20th) at Brown-Alkire Funeral Home, 309 E. Washington St., Hoopeston. Bud McMasters will officiate. Burial will be in Floral Hill Cemetery, Hoopeston. Visitation will be from 4 to 7 p.m. today at the funeral home. "Mr. Huckleby died at 8:06 a.m. Friday, March 17, 2006, at home. He was born Dec. 15, 1937, in Marrowbone, Ky., a son of Joseph H. and Ethel M. Anderson Huckleby. He married Marguerite S. Bogard on Aug. 29, 1959, in Rossville (IL). She survives. "Survivors also include two sons, Harlie Huckleby of Panama City, Fla., and Mark Huckleby of Hoopeston; three daughters, Debbie Watson and Janet Bivans, both of Hoopeston, and Connie Douglas of Rossville; two sisters, Elizabeth McMasters of Monticello, Ind., and Betty Lomax of Hoopeston; six grandchildren; three step-grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; and five step-great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents and a brother. "Mr. Huckleby was a supervisor in the winding department at Schumacher Electric Corporation in Hoopeston for 35 years and retired in 1999. He enjoyed fishing, country music and playing the dobro." I have no additional information, and no connection. Hopefully, the obituary will be of interest to someone who is researching this family.

I'm looking for a marriage record of William Boyd Short, married to Caroline Wariner or Warren. Their only child, Charles McPherson Short. On Charles death certificate it mentions his parents names.. The closest that I can figure out that William probably got married in the late 60's but no later then 1872, because that's when Charles McPherson Short was born. I have not been able to place William Boyd Short on the 1870 census. So I want to think that he was married after 1870 but no later then 1872. Remember Charles was born in 1872. If you happen to have a marriage record book on hand could you please check the index. for William Boyd Short and Caroline Wariner or Warren. Charlotte

The Index for the first 11 Chapters of "The History of Cumberland County" can be found at: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Atrium/3005/kycumbhin1t5.html This link was provided to me a couple of months ago by Barbara Coffey and someone else.

Would you be able to tell if there were any Jewish merchants in Cumberland Co. at that time? Also interested in family of James Hawkins Neeley. Any help or thoughts on these appreciated. Mildred Neeley Tatum
