If you can find an RAOGK volunteer in Woodford co.; they could do a Metamora
Herald Newspaper look-up with this information and find the obituary notices
for you. The obits might have next-of-kin and other information that you
might want. It also looks as if the Woodford County Library might also have
the info available. I found Edgar and Mary/Mollie in all of the censuses
available from birth through 1930. My transcriptions come from the images
themselves so I report the spelling/names as I actually see them. I know
that you didn't ask for all of this, but I just can't resist a search. You
probably have all of this, but will send it along anyway.
