Years ago this lady was doing research on the Mattoon Family and had two books made for us. It was a black leather bound book with the coat of arms, had pictures of Mattoon's in it and was dated way back to the 1600's. Originally from France where they started out from. It tells where the guys on the railroad played a game of poker and the guy that won could name the town and that town was Mattoon Ill. I am 53 yr. old and my name is in the book. I borrowed to my half sister and she said she didn't have it or lost it or just won't give it back. Cool book though.
