Grandfather was Walter Stanhouse. He was born in Scotland in I think 1857. I understand his name was originally Stenners but he changed it to Stanhouse when he came to the States. His wife's name was Christina. He was a miner in Perry County, IL. His daughter Barbra was my Grandmother. I have no idea who his parents were or where in Scotland he was from but would appreciate any information you might have on him or the family. Looking forward to hearing from you. Mary Vogel
