ANGLEMIRE posted by jondonaker@aol.com
Looking for information on the ANGLEMIRE family in Winnebago County. My earliest record is the 1880 census, showing Rob Anglemire and family, from PA. By 1900, there were also another Robert Anglemire(B: 2/1833) and John Anglemire(B:6/1861). How are these people related to Emanuel Anglemire who moved from PA to Will County, IL during the late 1850's? I am a descendant of Emanuel, and am trying to tie the family history together. Will gladly share information. jondonaker@aol.com.

George and Mary are buried there. I descent from George and Marie. An obit written by George's daughter states another son Miles died about 8 days after Sylvester was born.

Parker was employeed by the Barber-Coleman Company in Loves Park, Illinois as a machinist.Orie L.
