Thanks to Loren Thurman of THURMAN QUEST, Trudy Stucky for the Arkansas Obit, and Darrell Thurman, who provided the Illinois match-up Data! Thanks to my Father, William Elza Thurman who, years ago, helped all he could. Also, my Aunt Dovie (McGuire) Thurman. Thank You! I was able to make the connection to my Most Wanted Ancestor, today, August 7, 2000! I would like to thank all those who have answered my emails trying to help. I still need details! Thank You!
