Does Lucas Co. have a historical or genealogical society or could someone help me find an obit or death certificate for the following people? Lydia Ellen Bellor died July 9, 1928 and is buried in Chariton Cemetery Margaret Hawkins died 1909 and buried in Chariton Cemetery I am also hunting what happened to a James E. Hawkins who might have and might not have moved to Lucas Co., IA. He was born in Ohio abt 1856 The other person is Francis M. Hawkins born in Ohio abt 1857. I know he was there at least in 1880. Thanks. Jerilyn

Hi Jerilyn, Have you tried the Lucas County, Iowa U.S. GenWeb site? It is http://www.rootsweb.com/~ialucas/Main.htm<http://www.rootsweb.com/~ialucas/Main.htm> You can enter in a surname in the search field, near the bottom of the web page. I entered in Hawkins and got a marriage for James Hawkins and Bertha Tuttle. I don'tknow if this is your James Hawkins or not, but you might want to take a look at it. http://search.freefind.com/find.html?id=10501158&pid=r&mode=ALL&query=Hawkins&t=s<http://search.freefind.com/find.html?id=10501158&pid=r&mode=ALL&query=Hawkins&t=s> There is a TON of information on that site, plus contact information for the site coordinator, so you should be able to find some help there.
