Isaac L. "Roy" Cantrell was born in June 1906 in Union County, Illinois. He was the son of George Cantrell and Stella Harris. He passed away in January 1974 in Union County, Illinois.[1]
There is a possibility Roy is confused with another Roy Cantrell, born 1806 in Flannigan, Hamilton County, Illinois. He was the son of William B. and Jane Cantrell. This Roy and his family are living in Browning, Franklin County, Illinois in 1920 and 1930. No census record is found after that.
I am inclined to think the Roy Cantrell, born June 1906 in Union County and passed away 1974 in Anna, Union County, Illinois is the son of George Cantrell. George also died in Anna, Union County, Illinois. Further research will be necessary to completely verify the accuracy of this statement.
George's first wife, Stella Harris, passed away about 1914. George married Elizabeth Unknown about 1915. George is now working as a coal miner and in his household are Stella's children Isaac Leroy, Vinnie, Hampton, and Woodrow. Also there are his second wife, Elizabeth, and their children Leo and Andrew.
