| William G. Williams; Mary Lou Williamson sent me information from the family bible on William's birth date and place and death date. She also said that Martha and William separated for 45 years and he remarried and had 2 daughters, Eva and Veda, and his wife was Mary Jones. Martha also remarried but had no children. years later as elderly people they remarried each other. Now, I am not able to find any information on William marrying Mary Jones, but have several sources that said he married Emma Underwood He is not buried with Martha, but in Forest City Cem., Forest City, Mason Co., Il. where his second wife was from. Date and location of their marriage found in Il. State Marrige Lic. Vol. 003 pg 0193 Lic # 00008273 In the 1870 Census for Banner Twp., Fulton Co., Il.

William G. had a sister that married a VanMiddlesworth. Wonder if this might be his brother. |
| Fred Williams and Lucy Woods children; From Laurie D. " Marians brothers, Floyd Frank and Clarence Amos married sisters (Daisy Belle and Josephine Anderson). Marion wanted to marry their brother but Fred thought two sisters married to two brothers was enough. He forbade her to marry hom Two much of the same family marrying into the other family was his thought. Sad thing being that Uncle Buddy and Aunt Marion never stopped loving one another even though they both married other people." |
| Walter Monn he was a member of the Fairview Reformed Church. He graduated from the Fairview High School. He was a farmer for sometime. He lost a finger in a farming accident. I can remember him setting in his chair and cleaning that fingernail, said it still bothered him if he got dirt under it. Us grandchildren called him Pop. He and Sarah Jane lived in a house on Van Winkle Lake. We used to go fishing in the lake. This lake was a big attraction in the Canton area for many years. At one time it had a pavillion on it with a dance area and large picnic area. When I was growing up Grandma was letting people fish there for a $1.00. Sometime after moving into the city of Canton, Pop became a fireman. |
