I found that a copy of marriage lic for this union is on file with the state of IL They were married 6 Apr 1882 in Marion Co. Vol D Pg 154. I do not have an actual copy of this. They had 3 children Benjamin b 10 Aug 1884 d. 13 May 1933 the old sandoval cemetery in sandoval illinois, Joseph & Delilah. These 2 died young and are buried next to Henry & Lucille. Benjamin married Emma Louise Abel they had 4 children Frederick Rollen Sellers b. 6 Aug 1907 d 7 sep 1907 Henry Clay Sellers b 18 Mar 1911 d 18 Jun 1967 in Oregon Helen Louise Sellers b 23 Apr 1914 d 6 Dec 2004 Mary Magdaline Sellers b 18 Jun 1917 d 15 Dec 1936 in Illinois These are all (except Henry) buried together in New Sandoval Cemetery, Sandoval, Marion Co., Illinois I hope this help close some gaps. I'm still looking for the parents names of Henry Clay Sellers ca 1835. I will have to try is death cert and see if it is there. Emily
