Early pictures and Documents
 
Some of these pictures and all the early documents were obtained through the kindness of Carolynn Jones Bettis.  Carolynn was able to get pictures of the house and gravesite and was kind enough to go to Carlinville, Illinois to obtain the Naturalization information for Mary and Joseph RoskoskyWithout these documents, I wouldn't have been able to piece together the little information we know so far. 
Thank you, Carolynn for your kindness.  The picture of Francis P. Sponsky was in the album of Betty Sponski Young.
