Just came across your 2005 message looking for Bartell's in the Galena area. I have found Wilton 47,and Ethel 39,on the 1930 census with children, Wilton jr.19, Ethel 17, Lyle 15, Lucy 9, Margaret (married name Heim) 20, Margaret's children Rose Marie 5, Betty J 4, Doretha 2, Marlyn M 3 months. No Dorothy Mae though.
My search is for the maiden name of your grandmother, Ethel M Bartell, born Jan 17, 1890, died Sep 15 1970. Would you know if it was Wilford?
