Nadyne Noffsinger shares these
family memories: My Great-Grandmother's name
was Bertha Kailer Morlock. Her father was Frederick Kailer.
He owned and built a building on Washington Street in Naperville, 1897,
which still stands near the corners of Jefferson and Washington
Streets. It and was a drygoods shop, and ladies
entered one door and men the other. His name is still atop the building (I
think Rosich and Rosich Law Firm owns it now). Grandpa ws in the Civil War
and walked to Wheaton to catch the train. He also walked with
General Sherman to the sea and survived. He came home and went on to
have Bertha Morlock in 1870. Bertha's daughter, Melvina Morlock
(Ebinger), was born in 1891 in Naperville. Melvina's daughter, Lois
Ebinger Taylor, also was a resident of Naperville. She married
Walter Tayosr, and their son is still a resident of Naperville.
