I came across a referrence to a Winifred Bollons, linked somehow to the
Cassin family of Mercer County. But it appears she was in a wedding for that
part of the family that moved to Texas back then. But obviously reported in
the papers in Illinois??? There's no other details, doesn't say whether she
was from Texas or just traveled there for the wedding. Which folks did a lot
of back then, family being all important. It's a place to look for the
Bollons/Bollom surname though, as type-o's are kinda common in the 'press'.

Good Luck

Linda
