Keokuk & Hamilton Bridge Posted by pat <pinetree@telepath.com> on Fri, 26 Jan 2001 My ggrandfather, Patrick HIGGINS worked for a railroad and was killed in 9 Jun 1884 when he slipped while trying to board an engine on the Keokuk & Hamilton Bridge (info from his obit). While he lived in Hamilton, Hancock County, Illinois, he is NOT buried there according to the Hancock County Genealogical Society. I have reason to believe he may be buried in the Keokuk area but haven't the slightest idea where to begin looking. (His wife's body was shipped to Keokuk for burial when she died in 1919). They were Roman Catholic, if that helps. Also would like to know where this bridge is/was located. Also, what railroad?
