This page is under construction - in the meantime there are several experts available on both Essley and Pratt families. (Welch is another story!) A Pratt Web page has been added to our Mercer County, Illinois site. There is a fine collection of photographs on file in the Aledo Museum in Mercer County, Illinois, and Nadine Holder has copies of the photos. They were furnished by a descendant of Leon Essley Welch and were found in Sarah Elvira Essley Welch's scrapbook where the above dates were recorded.
Sarah Elvira Essley Welch's scrapbook also contained a photograph of a girlhood friend in Mercer County, Illinois, who turned out to be a relative of site coordinator Nadine Holder. |
