Both her McQuiston and Riggs grandparents lived nearby and were greatly involved in her growing-up years. Her education included grade school and high school in LaGrange Park, IL; Cottey College in Nevada, MO., with a PEO scholarship, for her freshman year; and then Illinois State University, Normal, IL, where she completed bachelors and masters degrees in History. At age 22, she had her first and only job interview and was hired on the spot for her first and only job, at Flora High School, where she taught Social Studies and English for the next 34 years, 1969-2003. When she came to town in 1969, she drove a Volkswagen, which students often lifted from street parking in front of the school to the sidewalk. In the classroom, she blended what she had learned from books with what she experienced first-hand as a world traveler to the UK, Germany, France and Italy. Also, she drew heavily on the World War II service of her father and his brother, who were in the Navy. One of the highlights of the school year for her was her annual World War II Day, when she displayed and talked about her personal artifacts from that time. As Sophomore Class Sponsor for many years, Miss McQuiston spearheaded the successful yearly magazine subscription sales drives to make money for the Junior-Senior Prom. Her first 13 years at FHS were in Old Building B, a building with character, as she spoke of it, which contained the womens lounge, dubbed the Harpies Nest. Meticulous in her teaching, Miss McQuiston used copious hand-written lecture notes in a loose-leaf notebook each day. Important organizations to her included Daughters of the American Revolution; PEO Sisterhood DT Chapter in Salem; Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia, Foundation; Friends of the Flora Library; Clay County BPW; and the National Education Association. Baptized into the Presbyterian Church in LaGrange Park, IL, she most recently was a member of the First United Methodist Church, Flora. Miss McQuiston was a constant reader, particularly enjoying books and magazines about American and European history. In addition, she loved to cook, quilt, sew, and knit. Memorials may be made to the Flora Gardens Activity Department or Clay County Hospice. Her grandparents and parents preceded her in death. However, her second family was her school family. From Flora High School, she is survived by special friends Nancy Clark, Steven Lee, Don Talmant, and Bob Elliott. Also, she leaves behind her dedicated caregivers at Flora Gardens Care Center and Clay County Hospice. A host of students, as well, fondly remember The Divine Miss M.	McQuiston, Christine Jo (I56707)

1598	CLAREMONT, RICHLAND CO, IL Co. K. 21st Reg. Ill. Vol. Inf. Joined: JUN 11, 1861 NEWTON, IL Mustered in: JUN 28, 1861 SPRINGFIELD, IL Mustered out: JUN 3, 1865 SPRINGFIELD,IL PAROLED PRISONER The ancestors of Thomas Blanchard came from Kentucky to Illinois, and settled in what was then Lawrence County, in 1825. Willis Blanchard, the grandfather of Thomas, was a native of North Carolina, and resided in Kentucky several years previous to coming to Illinois, as above indicated. He had a family of four childrenThomas, Mary, Elizabeth and Henry Blanchard. The latter was Thomas Blanchard' s father, and was born in Kentucky in 1814, and was consequently eleven years old when his parents removed to Illinois. He attained to manhood in Richland County, and there was married to Martha A. Bunch, a native of Kentucky. Their union was blessed with four children, Thomas being the eldest; Sarah J. is the wife of P. J. Jenkins, of Richland County; Huldah E. died unmarried, and Josiah W. Blanchard is a farmer of Richland County. The parents died in that county, the mother in September, 1851, and the father in September, 1876. Thomas was born in Richland County, Ill., October 21, 1837, and was reared on the farm, attending the public schools of the county. He prepared himself for teaching, in which he engaged for a time. In June, 1861, he enlisted in Company K, of the One Hundred and Twenty -first Illinois Regiment, and went forth to bear his part in the struggle for national freedom. During the early part of his military service, he participated in some warmly contested engagements, among which were Fredericktown, Mo., Perryville, Ky., and Stone River, where he received a gunshot wound. Later he participated in the battle of Chickamauga, where he was made a prisoner. He was held in the various prison pens of the South, principally at Richmond and Danville, from which latter prison he, in company with eight comrades, made a very daring escape on the night of the 8th of May, 1864, having been in the prison six months. But one, however, of the nine succeeded in reaching the Union lines, the others being recaptured. Mr. Blanchard was caught after an absence of fifteen days, and was taken to Andersonville Prison, where he spent three months of hard treatment.

Christine Jo McQuiston, 67, died at 6:55 p.m. on Friday, December 12, 2014, at Flora Gardens Care Center in Flora, Illinois.

Funeral services will be conducted at 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, December 16, 2014, at Kohn Funeral Home in Flora. Visitation will be on Tuesday, December 16, 2014, from 12-1 p.m. at the funeral home. Interment will follow at Elmwood Cemetery, Flora.

Chris McQuiston was born February 18, 1947, in Berwyn, IL, to Robert Hugh and Helen Riggs McQuiston. Both her McQuiston and Riggs grandparents lived nearby and were greatly involved in her growing-up years.

Her education included grade school and high school in LaGrange Park, IL; Cottey College in Nevada, MO., with a PEO scholarship, for her freshman year; and then Illinois State University, Normal, IL, where she completed bachelors and masters degrees in History.

At age 22, she had her first and only job interview and was hired on the spot for her first and only job, at Flora High School, where she taught Social Studies and English for the next 34 years, 1969-2003. When she came to town in 1969, she drove a Volkswagen, which students often lifted from street parking in front of the school to the sidewalk.

In the classroom, she blended what she had learned from books with what she experienced first-hand as a world traveler to the UK, Germany, France and Italy. Also, she drew heavily on the World War II service of her father and his brother, who were in the Navy. One of the highlights of the school year for her was her annual World War II Day, when she displayed and talked about her personal artifacts from that time.

As Sophomore Class Sponsor for many years, Miss McQuiston spearheaded the successful yearly magazine subscription sales drives to make money for the Junior-Senior Prom.

Her first 13 years at FHS were in Old Building B, a building with character, as she spoke of it, which contained the womens lounge, dubbed the Harpies Nest.

Meticulous in her teaching, Miss McQuiston used copious hand-written lecture notes in a loose-leaf notebook each day.

Important organizations to her included Daughters of the American Revolution; PEO Sisterhood DT Chapter in Salem; Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia, Foundation; Friends of the Flora Library; Clay County BPW; and the National Education Association.

Baptized into the Presbyterian Church in LaGrange Park, IL, she most recently was a member of the First United Methodist Church, Flora.

Miss McQuiston was a constant reader, particularly enjoying books and magazines about American and European history. In addition, she loved to cook, quilt, sew, and knit.

Memorials may be made to the Flora Gardens Activity Department or Clay County Hospice.

Her grandparents and parents preceded her in death. However, her second family was her school family. From Flora High School, she is survived by special friends Nancy Clark, Steven Lee, Don Talmant, and Bob Elliott. Also, she leaves behind her dedicated caregivers at Flora Gardens Care Center and Clay County Hospice.

A host of students, as well, fondly remember The Divine Miss M.

The ancestors of Thomas Blanchard came from Kentucky to Illinois, and settled in what was then Lawrence County, in 1825. Willis Blanchard, the grandfather of Thomas, was a native of North Carolina, and resided in Kentucky several years previous to coming to Illinois, as above indicated. He had a family of four childrenThomas, Mary, Elizabeth and Henry Blanchard.

The latter was Thomas Blanchard' s father, and was born in Kentucky in 1814, and was consequently eleven years old when his parents removed to Illinois. He attained to manhood in Richland County, and there was married to Martha A. Bunch, a native of Kentucky. Their union was blessed with four children, Thomas being the eldest; Sarah J. is the wife of P. J. Jenkins, of Richland County; Huldah E. died unmarried, and Josiah W. Blanchard is a farmer of Richland County. The parents died in that county, the mother in September, 1851, and the father in September, 1876.

Thomas was born in Richland County, Ill., October 21, 1837, and was reared on the farm, attending the public schools of the county. He prepared himself for teaching, in which he engaged for a time.

In June, 1861, he enlisted in Company K, of the One Hundred and Twenty -first Illinois Regiment, and went forth to bear his part in the struggle for national freedom. During the early part of his military service, he participated in some warmly contested engagements, among which were Fredericktown, Mo., Perryville, Ky., and Stone River, where he received a gunshot wound. Later he participated in the battle of Chickamauga, where he was made a prisoner. He was held in the various prison pens of the South, principally at Richmond and Danville, from which latter prison he, in company with eight comrades, made a very daring escape on the night of the 8th of May, 1864, having been in the prison six months. But one, however, of the nine succeeded in reaching the Union lines, the others being recaptured. Mr. Blanchard was caught after an absence of fifteen days, and was taken to Andersonville Prison, where he spent three months of hard treatment. He was afterward transferred to Charleston, later to Florence, S. C, and finally to Wilmington, from where he made a successful escape on the 20th of February, 1865.

He was discharged from the service at Springfield, Ill., in June, 1865, and opened a book store in Flora, Clay County, in the fall of the following year. In 1869, he was appointed Postmaster at Flora, by U. S. Grant, and has held the position continuously since.

He married Ella E. Ingraham November 8, 1868, who was born in Ohio. Their children are Hugh (deceased) and Walter Blanchard, who was born October, 1871.
