Looking for obituary of Gertrude Utz died 1-5-1992 in Decatur (Macon County) Illinois, but lived in Illiopolis (Sangamon County) Illinois. Looking for obituary of Herman S. Utz died May 18, 1955 in Illiopolis (Sangamon County) Illinois. They lived all their married life in Illiopolis (Sangamon County) Illinois. Time and again I've talked to people at the Illiopolis Sentinel on the phone and offered to pay them whatever they wanted for the obituaries, knowing that I have to be patient, but I think 2 years is being patient enough. Does anyone on this list have access to these records? Linda (in Arizona)
