Civil War/Co. C, 103 Ill. Vol Inf.///
While Mary GEORGE* was expecting birth of one of their children, Mary's younger sister came to help her with the other children, chores, birth etc. It was during this time that Abel and the younger sister, Lucinda Murphy became romantically involved. A son was born out of wedlock in 1838 and was named Ferdinand Garner. It is not known where the surname name Garner came from. Mary and Lucinda's parents Samuel and Ann MURPHY raised Ferdinand and brought him as a baby to be raised in Fulton Co., Illinois. He stayed with his grandparents until he was old enough to do for himself. His mother, Lucinda MURPHY married Isaac ANSON and remained in Xenia, Greene Co., Ohio.
Ferdinand m. February 14, 1868, Susan Greenwell, b. June 24, 1846, Covington, Kentucky Boone Co., Kentucky, the dau. of Robert and Martha (Mills) Greenwell. The story, handed down from the older generations, tells of how Ferdinand was a very lovely, but a very sad man, as he and his father lived in the Farmington area and even went to the same church, but Abel did not or could not show any relationship. Milton always felt so sorry about Ferdinand that he had strong feelings about helping other boys from broken homes. Perhaps this was a inner drive that led Milton to work so much with the Glenwood Boys home.
Ferdinand Garner d. June 30, 1927, at Farmington, Illinois, at the age of 88 years, 6 months & 8 days. Susan d. March 5, 1941, at age 94, in Chicago, Illinois. Both buried in the Farmington cemetery, Fulton Co., Illinois.
