Mr. Courson,
I was wondering if you could please scan me a copy of the
photograph of the Brown Church Bible Class.
I am related to the Ed ALDERSON, Joe MULVANEY, "SMITH", "GORDON", and
Tom NEAL unless
I am mistaken. My great-grandfather was Samuel Jesse MULVANY. He
married Lulu Etna GORDON.
Samuel MULVANY'S parents were John Wesley MULVANY and Matilda Jane
ALDERSON.
My great-uncle, Roy Elmer NEAL who had a farm near Kinmundy was the son
of Thomas NEAL and
Maggie WESTERFIELD.
Could you tell me when this picture was taken. I assume it was probably
taken at the Brown Church.
Somewhere in all of my pictures, I have an early picture of the Brown
School House with my mother and
her oldest sister standing at the front door to the school house but I
can't say for sure when the picture was taken.
I could only guess about that. The majority of my ancestors and
relatives in that part of Marion County are buried at
the Phillips Cemetery. There are some also buried at Evergreen Cemetery
in Kinmundy, Illinois.
If you want me to pay you for a copy, I could do that too.
I will look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you.

John W. Pegg
