Message Board Post:
I am looking for info on my paternal grandmother, she was born in Jan. 1900 in Dana, Vermillion Co., In. Her mother was Ellen Runyan. She was illegitimate and the father gave her his last name of Chestnut. I have misplace the birth certificate and it was either James or John from around Pilot, Il. My grandmother married a Russell (Rusty) Straw who was not good and her father set up a trust fund for her so she would be taken care of. She had five children, the oldest being my father James Russell Straw. She was committed to Kankakee Mental Hospital by my grandfather and his friends who severely mistreated her and said she was unfit to raise the children. The last two were raised in Paris Childrens Home, in Paris Il. I am not looking for anything other than my grandmothers linage, nothing more. Please if you know anything let me know. jolin 49(a)yahoo.com Linda Kay Straw Hudson
Terre Haute, In. I would like some closure for my grandmothers parentage.
Thank You
