This name is given in the IL death index and is cert #0390147. I am trying to determine if this is my grandfather who was born in Ohio in 1878 and who left his family around 1919. His official name was Elsworth E. Applegate but he might have used another name. He is reported to have died in an accident, i.e., fell off a building doing either painting or construction. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Lynn E. Applegate Wilmington, DE lapplegate@ravenet.com 1/98

102. BENNINGSEN BOON, CONRAD WILL According to my genealogy records, Mr. Boon married Elizabeth Will on May 24, 1829. Elizabeth is a daughter of Conrad Will and Susannah Kimmel. Conrad Will is an older brother of my ancestor, Peter Will. Their father was Daniel Will. I am looking to obtain info about Peter and his wife, Mary Gebhart Will. In the 1860 Census, they were living with Peter's son George Will and his wife, Arah Ann Rebecca Bouscher Will. George died in Somerset Twp (near Murphysboro, I assume?) on May 7, 1902, and Arah was killed in the big tornado on March 18, 1925. Both are buried in Zion Cemetery. Peter and Mary both should be buried in the Murphysboro area, also. I am looking for someone who can help me get any obituary, death, and cemetery records, and maybe pictures of any graves. Can you help point me in the right direction? The info I gave above is from some old typwritten sheets in the possession of my great-grandmother, Ida E. Will b. Oct 8, 1866 in Murphysboro.

deaths in the family in November 1876 -- Mary Ellen died on the 3rd and
Julia died on the 28th. In 1877 the family moved to Hamilton County, IL.

determine where they were buried? Rita Ray ritaray@gte.net 2/98
