I am seeking info on Henry Walter Kruse adopted out of the DeQuoin home. He was born 17 March 1897. James Wilke is listed as his BIRTH father and Mary Rader as his BIRTH mother. I did find Mary Rader living with her 2 sisters in the 1900 census
Henry Walter Kruse's descendants would love to know our heritage
I ahd written to Judge Campenella about his adoption records and he responded they are sealed for ever except for medical reasons
Thanks for any help
