Thank you Selma. I will call them Monday and ask how I can get a copy of this article! I appreciate your referal. This family has become an obsession of mine. It is possible (a slim possibility) that their son William is my GGGgrandfather. However, I have already decided what ever the outcome genealogy wise, I have to know what happened to them. I am actually planning a trip from CA to IL in the spring to research in person.
