The Magnolia you seek is Magnolia Waters, daughter of Garland Paul Waters &
Margaret Sutton Waters. Garland is the brother of my g-g-grandfather, Jonathan
Grant Waters. Garland was first married to Margaret Sutton and after her death
married Lydia Ann Suits. Garland is buried in the Waters Cemetery, Karbers Ridge,
IL & Margaret is buried in the Love-McPherson Cemetery, Hardin County, IL. Please
e-mail me for further info.
