I'm looking for any information on Katherine "Katie" Sheehan who is listed in a Bureau County, IL will in 1949 as Katherine Sheehan at 6830 Bishop Lake Road, Brighdom, Michigan. I can't find a Brighdom, so wondering if this may be Brighton in Livingston Co. MI.
Katie was born May 1895 in Toluka, Marshall Co. IL to Mary "Mollie" (Harris) & Patrick M. Sheehan. She married James Lunn 9 Nov 1910 in Seatonville, Bureau Co. IL. James was a coal miner. They may have had sons Howard Lunn b. April 1913 in Seatonville, and William Lunn b. January 1915.
Since she is listed as Katherine Sheehan in the 1949 Will, she may have divorced. I believe her sons may have died young as I can't find them in censuses. I'm not sure what she was doing in Brighdom/Brighton MI in 1949 - but wondering if she may have remarried or died there.
Any help would be appreciated!
thanks,
