The individual may not have actually lived in the area in which she died. For example, if the individual died at a hospital or nursing home outside of the area they spent the majority of their life, an obituary may not have been published in that area but rather in their 'hometown'. As for the social security index, not all deaths are recorded in the index due to a variety of reasons.

No one is drawing off my ex-husband as he never remarried and no one is drawing off my half sister as well as my mother.

One would think that after 15 years of being dead he would be on there. I don't get any widows from him as I worked and I remarried so don't anything...But due from my husband who passed away in 2004 and his death is on it. But not my half sister who died in 1982 or my ex-hubby who died in 1990 or my mother who passed away in 1983. And I turned that one in as did the State of CA as she was in a Care Home and the payments to them had to stop.

I know that I won't be ordering from So Soc if I know the person is dead and I was there and So Sec says its up to date and yet one can't find them. I don't think So Sec refunds money for things Bobbie

I wanted a obit look up and got the death date from the So Sec death index and the lady lived in the same town as where the So Sec death index said she died and the lady couldn't find anything....why does death index say something and then no one can find anything...this has happened twice. Also So Sec death index says its up to date though 2004 and I know someone died in 1990 and I have the So Sec number but its not there and I know he died in 1990 as I was married to him.. anyone know why the So Sec death index say's one thing and then you can't find the information. Anyone else have this problem.

Thank you so much for your trouble, Carol. As a child of 6/8 years I visited my grandfather in West Frankfort several times. So I know he lived there in 1938 or so and I know he died there in 1950. So goes our searches for our ancestors. (sigh) But...again thank you so much.

Joann: PS; I also looked through the Death Index for Thomas Webster in case it was indexed by his middle name & not his first name of Charles, but still did not find him in all of Illinois. Our life may not always be the party we would have chosen, but while we are here, we may as well dance!

Joann: IF you are sure of the approximate date he died and are sure that he did die in Franklin Co., IL, you might want to write to the Franklin Co.

Jim, Maybe you should have someone check the Quincy Hearld Whig. Jan Mysinger

Yes to both questions. But thanks so much for looking. CHARLES THOMAS WEBSTER lived alone and maybe there was no obit.

Is there someone there who could look up an obit for him. Many thanks in advance.

Can someone look up an obituary for Delbert Gordon who died apparently in/near Baylis, IL, in Pike Co. some time in January of 1976? His wife, Blanche Cline Gordon, was/is a distant relative of mine. She was born in 1919, probably in Pike Co. I don't know if she's still living nor where she lives. Jim Gordon Hinsdale, IL

Does anyone have access to Pike Co. obituaries? Allen was born 9/17/1924 in/near Burton in Adams Co., IL, and died in/near Clayton, IL, also in Adams Co. on 8/12/2004 according to the online SSDI (Social Security Death Index). Any help is appreciated. Jim Gordon Hinsdale, IL
