Notes:

Dear Melinda and Tom,

I got the death certificate for my Greatgrandfather Frank Hines and found information I had been seeking for a long time.

Joseph Hines born 3-12-1823 IS my Great-great-grandfather. Therefore Joseph (Anna Zakovec) Hines and my Great-grandfather Frank (Mary Bures) Hines were brothers.
Also children of Joseph (b. 1823) were John Hines and Mary Hines.

Somewhere along the way someone told me that Joseph (1823) was married to Mary Lamischeck. I don't have this verified. I don't even remember who gave me the information.

From the book we wrote for the Morse Bluff centennial, ?i?Morse Bluff and Surrounding Rural Area, 1887-1987", ?/i?the following information is given about Joseph Hines (1823).

Joseph was born 3-12-1823 in Bohemia. In 1866 he came to Chicago, Il with his children: Joe, Frank, John, and Mary. A year and half later they moved to Braidwood, Il where they worked in the coal mines. In 1871 he came to the Morse Bluff area. His descendants span 6 generations and 115 years in the Morse Bluff area. Joseph died 10-11-1906.

As I recall this information was given by Lillian Hines Bauer. She was interested in family history so I believe most of it might be true. However, I believe Frank and Mary Bures came
later by a couple of years. I will have to check that to see if I have that information somewhere.
