Sorry, only mentions 3 of the 5 five children: Oscar of Chatsworth;
Mrs. Goldie Shull, Beloit, Wis.; and Mrs. Effie Reyneirs(sp?), Pontiac.
The other 2 children died before Wesley.

If you want a copy of the obituary write to the
Streatorland Historical Society
306 South Vermillion St.
Streator, IL 61364
The cost of a microfilm copy is $1.00 plus postage.
I will get a copy and take it to the museum.
Do you want me to look for a copy of Amanda's obituary? The obituaries
for 1924 are indexed.
If you want, the people at the museum could check the city directories
for Eben. Would he be listed under Perryman or Scurlock, or Seurlock?
We charge only for copies, not for research, but would appreciate a
donation. We only charge .25 for copies of pages from city directories.
