Subject: [ILMORGAN-L] Help solve my MYSTERY

Hi everyone
I visited your county this past weekend Woodson and met some very fine
people. We went looking for the farm of my husbands Great grandfather
James A. Cooper and found it still there and the same on the outside as
it was when he lived there. The lady that owns it now was so nice and
invited us in we talked for 2 hours. She gave us a tour of the house and
told us how it used to be she even let us take pictures we had a great
time.
Here is the Mystery we also went to Robert's Cem just down from the farm
where James Cooper is buried. and noticed a tombstone right next to his
that was made out of exactly the same granite it looked like who ever
bought them got them at the same time well I took a picture of it just
in case, the name on the stone is Samuel Duskin born Nov. 27 1897 died
Feb. 24 1917 so while we were talking to this lady at the farm she tells
us the story of Samuel Duskin killing himself in the house . Does anyone
know this person and can shed some light on this I sure would appreciate
it . James Cooper was the only owner of this property and of course the
woman that has it now. Would be interested in finding out if Samuel
Duskin is related in someway.
PLEASE let me know what you think.
