Thank you for the name of Jesse Lakin's first wife.
His second wife was Ada Dieckmann Saunders. She was buried with her first husband as Jesse Lakin was buried by his first wife.
Have you ever been to South Hill Cemetery in Vandalia?
I visited there some years ago when I first started looking for family history, I didn't know what I was doing and missed a lot, hope to go back again this fall.
Jesse Lakin and his first wife are buried very near the Dieckmann Family Crypt and graves.What I found very intersting is that the other 2 graves in that group of 4 graves are those of Tennie Daughterty and her fisrt husband. I do not know when Mr. Daugherty died but she had been a widow for some years when she married Geogre Edward Dieckmann, the father of Ada Dieckmann in Dec 1901.
It seems this was a very close knit group of people.
Ada Dieckmann Lakin died in Brdenton, Fl where she and Jesse had lived for many years.
I will find the article, it became so fragile my mother had it transcribed many years ago. I will scan it and send to you directly if you will send me an e-maill address. It is to long to post here.
Do you know anything of a Martin Lakin from Ladd, Il who married Helen Dieckmann of Vandalia?I have not come across anything that links the 2 families.
Any help will be appreciated.
