Brilliant, Eva! Some folks see that there is an Edwards' home still standing in Springfield and think this is the home where Mary and Abraham were married in 1842 and where Mary died in 1882. But that home no longer stands. Ninian Edwards' brother, Benjamin Edwards, also had a home in Springfield. This is the Edwards Place at 700 N. 4th Street which still stands today. From that link it says this home "is now the oldest house in Springfield still on its original foundation."

Eva, you win my personal guarantee that the dreaded Polar Vortex will not visit Germany this winter!
