I suppose you had moved before I wrote to Jane" And to her cousin Jane Love: "I think you will not be so lonely once you become acquainted and get accustom to your new home.

Zillman was a Baptist minister. I have the original survey of Zillman JONES' property, filed 8 June 1905, recorded in Plot Records No. 1, p.45, Town of Yale, County of Jasper. Zillman was very outspoken and wrote many articles in the newspaper. I have 2 of them. On the back of one is an article dated 16 Mar 1913. The other has no date, but I can see ads for businesses in Newton, IL [Jasper Co.]. One has Jasper Co., 2nd annual ? Festival, 5 and 6 of Sept. [1914?]. --Brenda Boyer <L1br1a@@aol.com>, e-mails, October 18-19, 2000.
