Absolum and Emaline REYER moved to Marion County, Sandoval township, sometime
between 1860, when they were in Mississippi, and 1868, when they were in
Arkansas. Land records show a purchase of land in Marion County in 1865.
Family legend tells that they had a drugstore there. I don't know how to
research this - or how to find out more about their time in Illinois. Any
ideas?

Looking for history of Brubaker School, a one-room schoolhouse located 5
miles east of Salem on Rt. 50. Specifically, legend has it that a teacher
was raped and possibly killed by escaped or freed slaves. The perpetrators
were then hung by local residents, and buried on property I now own. I have
since located a headstone which is badly deteriorated, but the name "Rachel"
is legible. Can anyone shed any light on this subject? Was Rachel the school
teacher? Thanks.
