I am doing a genealogy report on the McFerren family, who were very active in building our town of Hoopeston IL in the late 1800's. Marjorie's grandfather, J S McFerren, financed several buildings in our business district, as well as three mansion-type residences. I appreciate your steering me to the source to obtain obituaries on both Mr and Mrs Kaufmann.
