I need to correct myself... My ggrandfather Verne Palmer Elijah was from Indiana not Wisconsin. His father was Charles Adam Elijah. Any info would be greatly appreciated! Rod, I am working on getting you the info that you asked for.

Charlie Elijah was the oldest son of Ransom Elijah - grandson of Lewis the 2nd and GGs of Lewis the !st- He had 3 brothers James , Frank , and Alexander and 3 sisters One who marries a wilson - one who married a herron and one who married a pettis . Charlie was a prosperous farmer who sold out and invested his mony in the stock of Samual Insull and when Sam went broke in the depression Charlies was affected likewise ( Insull is the present day Commonwealth Edison Company of Chicago . Charlie is burried with his wife in North Star Cemetary(not far from the family farm ) - and is related to from1/2 to 1/3 of all people buried there . North Star also had a church and a school .
