Looking for anyone that may have information on these two people and any brothers/sisters/other family members.

Lester Burnell, b Aug 7 1894 in Bureau Co., IL. He moved to Fort Smith, AR with his Father (Samuel) and Mother (Lina) sometime between 1910 and 1918. He was working for a RR in Muskogee, OK when he registered for the WWI draft. He had a sister, Rush (maybe Ruth) who was born abt 1905 in IL. There was also a brother, Sam, born abt 1899.

I have absolutely no information on Anna except she was probably born in the Fort Smith area, Aug 1, 1899.

Lester and Anna had a daughter, Beverly, that may have been born in the Fort Smith Area before 1930.

Lester was originally born Leslie E. Gyger, son to Edwin E. Gyger and Lina Olmstead. Edwin died in 1896 in IL. Lina married Samuel J. Burnell in 1897 in LaSalle Co., IL. Leslie changed his name, unknown if he did it through the Court, sometime around the move to Fort Smith or once he got there.

If any of this sounds familiar, I would greatly appreciate the information.
