Ethel M Wynn Thompson, daughter of Richard John Wynn and his first wife Mary E Day.

She left Peoria, sometime after January, 1920, for Chicago, and died there.

She married Allen Cleo Thompson on 04-26-1921, in Chicago, Cook County, IL. He was born 02-04-1898, Nashville, Davidson County, TN, the son of George LeRoy Thompson and Mary Eulala Allen, both from TN. Allen appears to have died before 1930.

The Cook County Coroner's Certificate of Death, gives her date of death as 03-12-1952, not 1951 as given on stone.
The same certificate confirms her date of birth, both parents and burial date at St. Marys of 03-14-1952.
