PERSONAL MENTION (section of newspaper) pg. 4

The date this was published was 4 days after the death of William H. & Mary "Lena" Edwards Allee second son.

I have entered his burial location in the Saint Pauls Cemetery in Birds, Illinois - we do not know at this time the location of his burial, as his death certificate only lists that he was buried in Lawrence Co. IL. I tend to feel since other Allee family members are buried here, that the Saint Paul Cemetery would have been the cemetery his parents would have chosen. vjm

Oliver Allee March 26, 1917

A special thank you to Flossie Price for this long forgotten bit of information on William H. Jr. vjm

The Saint Pauls Cemetery has been walked / read and is in print. There is no mention of a marker for him, either there never was one or through the years it has been lost or grown over. vjm
