Their son, John Foster Towell, born Nov. 8,1887, was the oldest of 5 children and was born in Winchester,Il. John Foster Towell was my Grandfather. His siblings were Alma Day Towell/Hockenberry,Frank Collins Towell, William Ramey Towell,and Ernest Edward Towel (1896-1903). You probably know that Michael and Fannie are buried in Savonburg KS in Mount Moriah Cemetery in Neosho County. Our family is from Il. where John Foster and family came to from Kansas around 1920. John and his wife Myrtle Olson Towell are buried in Hinsdale, Il. I believe John was the only sibling to return to Illinois.
