Researching COAKLEY and DICKERSON. Lived in Linton from abt.
1902 to 1915?
My ggrandfather was JEREMIAH J. COAKLEY, son of ELLEN HARREN
(Coakley)and MICHAEL CRONAN? b. 1849 in Canada, died 1916 in Nokomis, IL.
Married Catherine Sullivan(1862-1896) in Brazil, IN. She was the
daughter of John and Mary(Clifford) Sullivan.
He was severely maimed in a mining accident, I believe about 1916.
He received a settlement from the Vandalia Coal company in Linton.
Is there a local newspaper there that was in existence at that time?
Jeremiah had four brothers and two sisters: JOHN, CORNELIUS,
TIMOTHY, JAMES, MARY, And ELIZABETH COAKLEY. I believe they were all
living in Linton at the time of his death. I would like to have
a copy of his obituary if there was one in appeared in that
town.
My grandmother, Ellen C. Coakley married James F. Dickerson
in Linton Sept. 5, 1905. Would like wedding announcement.
Would love to correspond with others researching those names.

any adoption papers or marriage record of John and Ellen HERREN(Cronin?) or birth
