4 boys, 3 girls. He is buried in Farnsworth-Mt. Zion Cemetery in
IL. There are mistakes in obituary! There is no record of his
burial in Farnsworth Cemetery. He is listed as being 73 in
obituary, but dates given there would make him 83. In 1880
Federal census, I located a William Andrew West & family in
Jefferson County, IL (adjacent to Wayne County) that I believe to
be correct based on names and ages given. His birth age would
have been 1844 based on the census data. Per data I have, he was

STINSON was from Frankfort, KY. His children included: Joseph
