Harlon and Jesse Fortner of IL
George (Harlon) Fortner was my Grandfather.Jesse was his brother.Halon married Marion Francis Allen of Sangamon County IL.They had 3 children:Betty Lou, Helen Eileen, and Doris Jean (my Mother).They divorced when my Mother was only a baby so don't know too much about Harlon.He moved to Peoria, IL later in his life and lived with a woman there but never married her.
Harlon used to come and visit with us when I was little.I was too young to remember much except his kind attitude toward us (his grandchildren).I remember that the woman he lived with was very mean and hateful toward us.She was a very large woman and my grandfather was slight of frame and only about 5'6".His father before him was only about 4'11" tall.
