• Notes

  “Emma Josephine was a Past Matron of the Eastern Star of the Masonic Order. Her son James showed us a beautiful picture of a horse that she had painted. She married DeLos Davis of Deer Creek and they later moved to Chillicothe. His occupations included managing the Peoples Telephone Co, operating a plumbing and heating business and doing sales work. Emma and DeLos had four children. Harold died in infancy. Helen has also passed away. Her husband, Michal Sirnec was a purchasing agent for Bunty Candy Co. He now resides in Cicero. Florence, widow of Clyde Allan, lives in Normal. James, a retired salesman, is married to Marge Schumacher, a real estate agent. James recalled the frequent Belsly reunions that were held. Upwards to seventy-five relatives would attend and what good times they would have! They would make five gallons of homemade ice cream at a time and the youngsters would take turns turning the handle.” [1]
