Hurst, IL

Can anyone tell me where you would have gone to school in
the late 1920 and early 1930's if you lived in Hurst, IL?
And would that school still be around?
Thank You
Linda

Rudolph WOLF

I am looking for information about Rudolph WOLF who died
April 1986 in Williamson Co., IL. Marion was his last
known residence, according to the SS Death Index. I need
to know if he ever lived in Granite City, IL and worked at
the steel plant. My Grandma was Marie Carrow/Caron, and
her fourth husband was Rudolph Wolf. I do not know what
happened to him after she died in 1861. I was told he went
back to where he was born. "Red" was the only Grandpa I
can remember, and I would love to connect with his family.
Thanks! Brenda Contact me at: Azbrenda@aol.com/

Caplinger/Moore family

To: Mary Jo Moore

I am writing/recording a biography of my late wife, Kathryn
Lee Moore who was born in Carterville (9/28/'31), and would
appreciate knowing if your book of Wm. Caplinger would have
any information regarding her family.
Her ancestors included the Caplingers. Her father was known
as "Cotton" Moore and his mother was Gertrude Moore. I
believe Kathryn's mother's maiden name was Caplinger, I'm not
sure.
