Although probably not related directly to me, I still want to find out something about it. Eugene C. Woodmansee of Illinois went to Indiana in 1867 to marry a Sarah Vert. Just before the wedding he vanished. forty-four years later, his bones were discovered in a trunk buried under an old road house. His mother and father came from Illinois for the wedding. His brother was J. H. Woodmansee and lived at Danville, Illinois. If anyone knows anything about this incident or the family, please let me know.
