I am looking for pictures, information, birthdates, dates of death on one Lillian M. McLean, a life long resident of Alexis,Mercer CO. IL,and her husband Wm. They are buried at Alexis Cemetery. She is the sister of my grandfather Arthur (Art) Salts whom I am also looking for personal information on. He was the "doorshaker" city magistrate for Alexis back in the early 40s. Lillian McLean has a grandson in Galesburg. . Anyone have phone #? His name is Paul. Thanks.

I am very interested in obtaining a copy of the 1891 school photo. My grandfather (Edmond Clyde McPherren) had 11 siblings, including Winnie Lou McPherren born 11/16/1880, Florence Ethelyn McPherren (went by Floy) born 3/28/1883 and Lura Beth McPherren born 5/18/1895 (could this possibly be your Tira?

I would like more information on this photo. My grandmother, Fra Estelle Mc Pherren, sister to Lura Beth Mc Pherren, should be in this photo also. Lura Estelle Ryder

Could this possibly be the Tira who married Paul Wennersten?? Lura E. Ryder

I have copied the photo to a disk and can send it as an e-mail attachment, but I need the e-mail address of persons wishing to receive it.

I sure would appreciate it if you could send me the school pictures of 1891 also.
I have family that were in that area also.
