Know that he was in the Cairo, Alexander County, IL in the 1880's, he approx 20 years old. Married to Angeline Skiles in 1879, but I lose him after that....... --------------------------------------------- Linda, I do not find Lathanial--or any of your ARMSTRONGS--listed in either Book III or Book IV of "Where They Sleep, Cemetery Inscriptions of Pulaski Co., Illinois" (most Cairo residents were buried in Pulaski County cemeteries). I suggest that you subscribe and post an inquiry to the Alexander County RootsWeb List, and look-ups in the other "Where They Sleep" volumes. Also, write the Alexander County Clerk/Recorder for a copy of Angeline's DC. If information on the DC states she was a widow, at least you will know that you're searching for death information on Lathaniel between 1891 and 1900. Good luck on your research.
