  M. MAIL, farmer, P. O. Palestine, first beheld the light of this world in the
year 1857, in La Motte Township, Crawford County. His father, Isaac D. Mail, was
born in 1832. He was a farmer by occupation, and his father, Frederick Mail, was
born in 1803, a blacksmith by trade, and a pioneer of Crawford County. He was
joined in matrimony to Louisa H. McGahey, born in 1806. Her father was one of
the pioneers of Crawford County, and she is the mother of four children. Mr.
Isaac D. Mail was married to Mary E. Boatright, who was born in Crawford County,
and is the mother of seven children. Our subject went to school in Crawford
County and Carbondale, Ill. He has been a farmer all his life, and was joined in
matrimony, in Crawford County, Ill., October 3, 1877, to Miss Sarah J. Reavill,
born January 9, 1857, in Crawford County. She is a daughter of Andrew J. and
Martha A. (Seaney) Reavill, who were both born in Crawford County, Ill. Mrs.
Mail is the mother of two children living, Avis Faith, born October 13, 1879,
and Aubrey, born May 13, 1881. Mr. Mail can trace his ancestors back to one of
his great-great-grandfathers, who spelled his name Mehl, and who came from
Germany. In politics, our subject is identified with the Democratic party.
