| Note* | Mary Esther Catherine Stoneking Her sister, Alice Derry said that Mary was raised by their father's brother and his wife for awhile and then by their grandmother Stoneking. In the Peoria courthouse marriage ledger the notation is as follows: Consent given by Rose Ball for Mary Stoneking. (Mary was only 16.) (Rose (Compton) (Stoneking) Ball was only 12 when she married Zeb Stoneking) She lived at 316 Sixth Ave/St in Peoria at the time of her death. She lived in Peoria 9 years prior to her death. Pall Bearers at her funeral were Mr. Wilton, Duke Ball, Gerald Ball, Theodore Philbee, Wimford Fakir, Richard Burkquist. She died at the Proctor hospital in Peoria. She is buried at the Lutheran Cemetery in Peoria. My dad says that he and mom visited the grave in the 1950s and found that her marker was that of her mother Rose Ball who was still living at the time (she died in 1978). The story as told to me by her sister, Alice Derry was that Rose had the plot when Mary died suddenly and they just buried her there. In a conversation with her sister (Alice Stoneking Derry) I was told that she died either from scarlet fever directly or as complications resulting from scarlet fever. She was pregnant with her fourth child and the younger children got scarlet fever, then she got it. The scarlet fever evidently caused a miscarriage. She was put into the hospital under quarantine but was unable to recover. Record #213 - old envelope with family history notes in mom's handwriting lists Norma's name, address, and birthdate, and underneath that notes: James William Philbee, died 1933, Peoria. This may have been the 4th child... died in utero? died of scarlet fever as a baby? OBITUARY Peoria Star Newspaper, Peoria Illinois, Thursday, May 4,1933 page 3 Mrs. C.
