I have that Wilbur H. Nell was born 24 Jan 1880 in Miami Co., Ind., and that he died 20 Jan 1936 in Marion Co., Ind. I also have that Franklin P. Nell was born 10 Oct 1851 in Peru, Ind., and that he died 22 Jul 1926, though I don't know where.
Interesting that you are a quilter. My mother, who died in 2009, was a professional quilter. I believe she quilted hundreds of quilts in her lifetime.
