Dear
Kathleen,
The obituaries came through
just fine this time. Thank you for your assistance and your generous
contribution to the website. The Lusk obituaries would also be welcome. They
might also be helpful to the Schuyler website, since the family lived there as
well. You could send them yourself, or we could forward them on to the
coordinator.
Have you checked with the
Schuyler site for more information on the Stouts there? Many Brown and Schuyler
families moved back and forth across the river. I know of several families who
lived in Brown County but were all buried in Schuyler County. Since the two
counties were once one, that was not uncommon. So I do suggest you check with
their county website. We sent their coordinator several books of cemetery
listings for Schuyler County a couple of years ago, and she may still have
them.
If you have any further
questions (and would like us to forward the Lusk obituaries to Schuyler), just
let us know.
Best
wishes,
Laurie
Huffman
(for Ken
Huffman)

Hi Ken
& Laurie,
Thanks
for writing back! I'm sorry my first attempt at sending you this
information failed.
Attached
are the obituaries for:
Benjamin D.
Stout (who I believe died
on 16 January 1893)
&
Julia (Brooks)
Stout (who I
believe died on either 27or 28 Feb. 1875)
Benjamin Stout &
Julia Brooks were
married:
Schuyler
Co. on 11 Aug 1836.
I found
these obituaries recently when I was given the family Bible!
Please be sure
and let me know if you get this email.....and I would
really love to know what your thoughts are regarding the Stout Family
and where you think they might be buried.
Julia
Brooks Stout was Sarah Brooks Lusk's younger sister. Sarah was my ggg
grandmother. Sarah and her husband Levi Lusk moved left Rushville,
Illinois and moved to Mt. Sterling in 1866.
I'm not
sure what all you have but If you are interested I also have the obituaries for
both:
Levi Lusk,
who died 25
or 26 July 1877
&
Sarah Brooks Lusk,
who died 10
March 1894, at the age of 93!
Looking
forward to hearing from you.
Kathleen

Laurie Kathleen, It appears that
we did not receive the Brooks/Stout obituary information. Could you please send
it again? I will work on
the two questions as well. I apologize for the inconvenience. Sometimes, even
when we want to be near perfect, we fall
short. Sincerely, Ken
huffman

Hi Ken &
Laurie,
I haven't heard back
from you regarding the Brooks/Stout obituary information
I sent you several weeks ago and I was wondering if you ever received
it?
If not be sure and let
me know and I'll try to send it again.
If you did receive it
I was still very curious to see if you thought
the "Julia" listed in the Mt. Sterling graveyard,
with out a last name, might just be Julia Brooks Stout
(wife of Benjamin D. Stout)?
I was also wondering
if you were able to find out any information on Julia's father,
William Brooks?
The 1860 Mt.
Sterling, Brown Co. IL census shows
William Brooks (b. PA.
age 83) living with Benjamin & Julia
Stout.
Looking forward to
hearing from you.
Thanks again for
all your help!
Kathleen
