Thanks for the reply.I still haven't been able to do much research on that side of the family.I will try and research some of the area history again and see if I can get a few more answers.I did hear from a gentleman who did verify that there had been a coal mine in Starne years ago.He said it had been filled in and was now a baseball diamond and was called the village of Grandview.I guess I was also looking for someone that might be from the area or still had possible family connections there.Starne is still listed on the map on 31st street just south of Sangamon Ave.Thanks again - every little bit helps.
