Residence:

Frank reports he was born in Illinois while his parents were born in Ireland but his brother J. reports he was born in Illinois, as were his parents. Florence reports she was born in Illinois but her mother and father were born in Kentucky. Their two children were born in Illinois. The couple reports they have been married for 4 years and have three children, two of whom, are still alive. Frank is a coal miner as is his brother.

1918 – Illinois, Christian County, Stonington, 12 Sep 1918 The WWI Draft Card for Francis Joseph McCormick shows he was born 4 Jun 1879. He reports he is currently living in Stonington and is working as a miner for the Peabody Coal Company. His closest relative is listed as Florence H. McCormick, his wife. He is listed as tall and slender with blue eyes and black hair.

Frank reports he was born in Illinois and his parents in Ireland. Florence reports she was born in Illinois and her parents were born in Kentucky. All of the children were born in Illinois. Frank is still a miner.

Reporting of place of birth is consistent with the past two census records. Frank is a loader for a coal mine and daughter Josephine is a teacher for the public school.

1940 – Illinois, Christian County, Stonington, District 11-32, 3 Apr 1940 Sheet 2A shows Frank McCormick (60), wife Florence (57) and children Josephine (30) and Robert (18) living in the house they rent for $10 near the corner of Maple and Main Streets. Frank reports he has a 5th grade education, Florence a 8th grade one, daughter Josephine completed 2 years of college and son Robert has a 3rd grade education. They all report they were living in the same place in 1935. Josephine still reports to be a teacher in a public school and is the only one with an occupation.


Buried: Calvary Catholic Cemetery, Illinois, Decatur


Notes:

~ No birth record located.

~ No marriage record located.

~ No death record for her located.

~ A Josephine M. McCormick is buried in the Calvary Catholic Cemetery in Decatur, Illinois. It is in that same cemetery you find both of her parents, Francis J. and Florence H. Not proof this is her, but possibly. The record shows she was born 9 Sep 1909 and died in February of 1961.

~ The obituary for Dorothy McCormick shows that Josephine did not marry thus making the grave above much more likely to be accurate.
