Denise 230 posts May 06, 2008 6:45 AM	I had responded to this post on the Whiteside Co. Message Boards and suggested they post to this site. I know we have people that link to this line and hoped they would respond. He has also stated he wants to follow the line back from Sivard. Here is the info I posted - I will look up the obit for Sivard and probably the reunions in the Tampico Tornado.I won't have anything after 1966. Can anyone add to this?

Janet 1 post Nov 01, 2009 5:15 PM	To tschalk, Did you get the information that you were looking for about Sivard and Myrtle Pierson's family? They lived in the Leon community and Myrtle attended the Leon Church for many years. I knew Myrtle, and worked with her at church. Their youngest son, Dean, was in my husband's class in high school. He now lives in the Rockford, IL area.
