Hi Edward,

I would appreciate it very much if you could check the 1913 directory for the
following persons

Farmers/breeders: (might actually have been in Macoupin Co.)

Sam Hall
any Huber
any Burnell
any Watts

Litchfield businesses:

Sam Hall - a hotel or bording house
any Watts
any Burnell

The Huber, Burnell and Watts families have been in the area since the 1860's but they
moved back and forth between the Litchfield and Girard areas but it's worth a shot.

Thank you.
