Judy Billbrey's last picture

Great Great Grandma Lucas ( maiden name was Hartman) her husband was Levi. And Great grandma Lucas (Webb) I believe she was only 15 when she had grandma. Then she had another little girl who died and is buried beside her in Hoopeston. I can't remember if her name was Julie, or Jenny. When I go to Illinois next time I plan on looking that up. I almost didn't find Great Grandma's grave because I only knew she was called Belle. I didn't know untl later that it was Mary Belle.

So on the left is Great Grandma Mary Belle Webb (maiden name Lucus) and her mother on the right Sarah Ann Lucas (maiden name Hartman). I have been thinking about some kind of web site where I can begin to put together variuos family trees with pictures and stories and dates etc. Does anyone have any thoughts on that? RLR

Gladys Cover Girl

Gladys Williamson formerly Morse, maiden name Moore was on the cover of the Illinois State Alumni Magazine last summer. I have been trying to get this on for a while. I struggled getting the scanned picture loaded on the blog. Gladys has always been very athletic but she has earned many metals in state and national Senior swimming events during the last few years. Inside the magazine is a four page article on Gladys and her busy life. I can send a copy to anyone interested. Gladys is my aunt my mother's younger sister.

Judy's next picture

The middle girl is Great Grandma Mary Belle. She was one of twelve children I have their names somewhere which I will have to look up. There was one set of twins which did not live very long. One was named in the family tree but the other one wasn't. I do not know why. Marita who might have been able to answer my questions is no longer with us. They had to delay the funeral because of the snow storms. Aunt Gladys did make it to the visitation after the storms. Jimmy I keep in touch with Carolyn and Marilyn live somewhere else I to find their addresses I Put them somewhere and with all that has been going on I will have to search for them. I don't know if they knew any of Great Grandma's family. I do know that Grandma Moore's daddy was Names Miles but I don't know if it was a first name of last name. Your mom knew him but my mom didn't know him she was to little to remember.

If you go back a few posts to "Four Generations of Lucas" the back left is Mary Belle Lucus. Mary Belle has changed a bit. She had Agnas when she was not married. About the time Grandma had married and had Martha; Mary Belle had married a Webb and had a son named Charley. That was mom's uncle Charley they were very close in age and did everything together when they were young. I think Charley ended up married to one of Martha's college room mates.
