A birthdate tribute to Edmona Lohr
Today is a special day for a special lady who has touched so many lives. My mother, Edmona Lohr, turns 90 years young today! She has given so many wonderful memories to her family and friends over the years. The holidays were always a special time in our home mainly thanks to Mom. All of her hard work with the cleaning, decorating and cooking! She created a very warm and comforting holiday feeling that will always be with me! She has always given so much of herself to help her family and friends. Helping take care of her grandchildren when they were young included many trips to Macomb (Jack) Crystal Lake and Michigan (Susan) and Bloomington (Lisa). When I had my first child I don't know what I would have done if she was not there to help, guide and comfort me when needed! I have always said the older I got, the smarter my mom got!! She thoroughly enjoys attending her grandchildren's activities regardless of how far she may have had to drive. Numerous dance competitions and recitals. School plays and band competitions. Sporting events (including more baseball games than I can even begin to count)! And she is cheering each of them on! Edmona's children and grandchildren have a very special place in her heart and there is nothing she wouldn't do for each and every one of them. After she retired, she continued being active in church functions, working at the library, and helping out at the nursing home and meals on wheels. She also gave rides to many of her friends who could no longer drive to their appointments and activities. She also took care of my father, John Lohr, for almost 60 years-that's an accomplishment in itself!! She has had her fair share of obstacles also. In her 80's she had knee replacement surgery (which was successful because she was committed to doing all of her physical therapy exercises) and she battled and beat breast cancer! She is and has always been a fighter. My mom has always been there for me and for all of her family-regardless of what was needed--a shoulder to cry on or to celebrate an event or accomplishment. She is an inspiration and a positive role model in my life! I am proud to be her daughter. Here is to 90 years Mom - you have lived them well!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! All my love - Lisa Goropesek_

Mine Personal Records
Does any one know if any records exist for the men that worked in the mines in Minonk? We know that there was a large migration of Germans to Woodford County to work on the farms and be believe that the other reason was to work in the mines. Trying to help my family and others to see if this is where past family members worked when they first came to USA. Thanks Beth Harms Miller Vice President of Woodford County Historical and Genealogical Society
