Vicky, Celestia Jane Fitzgerald was born 30 November 1848 in Hamilton County, Illinois, and died in January of 1903 of Pnuemonia. She first married George Upchurch 1 Oct 1867, they lived together for 6 years, They had 3 children: She then married Wilburn Bond, 3 June 1878 and had 6 children, As of 1903 5 survive. She is interred at the Odd Fellows Cemetery in McLeansboro, Illinois. Her husband Wilburn Bond was born 15 February 1840 near McLeansboro, Ill. and died 6 September 1922. The books have the names and information on many of the family names you mention, but time fdoes not allow me, at this time, to research all the references. It looks as though there are several obituaries here that might help.Rebecca married Richard D. Parker. Louisa A. Bond married Jeremiah J. Fitzgerald. and the references go on and on. It looks as though Jeremiah was the son of Wm. W. and Elizabeth J. Fitzgerald and Jeremiah and Louisa had 3 children Clara, Alma and Blanche. His obituary mentions his sister Rebecca E. Parker. Jeremiah is buried at the Odd Fellows Cemetery also. Hope this helps, there are endless references about this family.
