Person:Emma Schilleman (2)

From a Schilleman descendant:

"THE CHILD, (age)?.. Cyrus or Sylvanus of Louella and Cyrus or Sylvanus, grew up to marry Emma Schilleman, my father's mother's sister. I am trying to confirm this as no records on persons accumulating this history ever states Emma Schilleman as part of this. Louella married (Cyrus/Sylvanus and gave birth to (Cyrus/Sylvanus) and the husband died @ a year later?..Louella then married the brother, Smith Wallace Hill and they had children. Emma Schilleman and (Cyrus/Sylvanus) also had children. Bruce (still living 80 yrs) which I just met over the phone, said he and his brother Robert were brought up by Emma Schilleman and (Cyrus/Sylvanus). The mother of Bruce and Robert was Lilah Maude, daughter of Emma Schilleman and Venie. Just can't get to the understanding of the Cyrus Sylvanus name combination. Bruce stated it as: (VENIE) SYLVANUS CYRUS HILL the child. His parents were CYRUS and Emma Louella Nichols."
