Lunsford/Cleek/Alexander Families

Hi,

I am doing research on my dad's side of the family. Let me
tell you what I have so far and if anyone has anything that
they can add to it I would appreciate it very much.

My GGrandfather was William S. Lunsford B 01/16/1893 no one
knows where. He apparently had two wives. All we know is
that his second wife's first name was Lucille. He had at
least one child, my grandfather, Lloyd Lunsford b.
01/22/22. Grandpa "Bill", as he is reffered to in my
family, died in March of 1974. He is buried in Hardin
County, IL.(don't know where.) His wife Lucille or "Lucy"
was born 02/22/1898 and died in November of 1972.

My Grandfather Lloyd married Rosemary Cleek when I do not
know. She was born 10/01/1924. They had 7 children in the
following order; James, Richard, William (goes by Mike),
Patrick, Rose, Paul, and Joseph. Rose died at the age of 19
in St. Louis. (July 1972). Grandpa Lloyd died in January of
1977.

My Grandmother Rosemary changed her name when she was about
16-17 from Maude. (Who could blame her??)Her mother was
Mary Alexander, I do not recall her father's name. Grandma
Rose also had a sister named Ann that was married to Glenn
Jaco. After my grandfather and great-aunt died, Uncle Glenn
and my grandmother lived together until his death in april
of 1990. Grandma Rose is still living in Marion today.

Grandma Cleek, Mary (Alexander), from what I have been told
was born in Tennessee, and moved to Illinois as a little
girl. Her family owned a farm outside of Marion at one
time. I have her birth listed as 10/04/1898. She married
John Cleek, have no idea of the date. She died in November
of 1985.

If anyone has any info about anyone of my relatives listed
here, I would really like to hear from you. You can reach
me at smbsa@bellsouth.net

Thank You.

Shannon
