Eli Shep Day, born 2- 16-1957, Centralia, Illinois. Marion County. I am hoping to find an early census regarding my g.grandfather Eli Shep Day. I have a copy of his certificate of death. He was born 2-16-1957. He died 1-23,1920 in Festus ,Mo. >From his death certificate, it mentions his father W.M. Jacob Day. (might be W. T. Day) He was born in Tennessee. By learning of an early census regarding his son Eli Shep Day, perhaps I will see his father mentioned.
