Classification: Query
Interested if anyone knows/has information about my family in Mattoon. My father, Harry Gordon Hones - born 1908 - and uncle, Boyd Anthony Hones - born 1904 - both graduated from Mattoon High School. I realize anybody that new my dad and Uncle would be in late 90's now - but I also know those Wisconsin people are very healthy. I have a copy of the 1923 Mattoon High School Parrot and other names in the list of freshman (along with my dad) are Joe Mottel, Barbara Probst, Eugene Shaefer, Genevieve Berger, Leona Blum, Ed Eggink, Myrtle Calkins, Marion White, Julius Lebroux, Melvin Listed, John Moss, Mathew Lightbody, Lucille Fermanich, Annie Hannie, Willie Jahnke, Helen Lierman, Alice White, Willie Walkner, Jeannete Boyer and Paul Lierman. Some of the names I remember my dad talking about when he was a kid were Chunky Babcock and Pinky Flo. Anyone who has any relatives who might have memories of my father and uncle and would be willing to share with me would be appreciated. I would also be happy to make a copy of the 1923 Parrot and send to you. My dad's father, John C. Hones, was a big man (stature) and worked on the railroad. thanks for any memories.
