Unfortunately, I didn't find what you were wanting, John W. VanLoon's parents names. What I did find was a descendant chart starting with him, but no mention of his parents. Just a notation that he was born in IL about 1856. There are about 12 pages of VanLoon's and who they married and children's name etc. If you want copies of those pages, I can get them the next time I am in town which could be a couple of weeks. The library charges 15 cents a copy so I would appreciate help with expenses for copies and postage to send them to you. That library did not have the film for me to get a copy of Nancy's obit, so I will have to go to Richland for that if you want it. I did not find an obit for JOhn or Parthena either. Let me know what you do what and I will get it as soon as possible. Mary
