48. Ila J.⁴ GILLHESPY (Charles Gilbert³ GILLHESPY, Sarah Ophelia² STEWART, Benjamin¹ STEWART) was born in JUL 1894 in Conklin, Ottawa Co., Michigan, USA, most likely. She appeared on the 1900 U.S. Census living with her recently widowed father in Chester Twp., Ottawa Co., Michigan. She died on 1 JUL 1962.

She was married to John RAAP. John RAAP was born on 21 MAR 1894. He died in AUG 1971. He was buried at Ravenna Cemetery in Ravenna, Muskegon Co., Michigan. He probably resided in Muskegon, Michigan. Ila J. GILLHESPY and John RAAP had the following children:

181 i. Charles⁵ RAAP. He was a Senator to the State Legislature in Michigan.
182 ii. Russel⁵ RAAP. Anna (Purser) Gillhespy died at the home of a [step?] grandson named Russel Raap. Therefore I place him in the family of John Raap and Ila Gillhespy.
