Hi Margaret, There won't be a Quincy newspaper that has a more complete obituary. I don't know where the town was from in Missouri where he died. Did you check Missouri newspapers? A newspaper local to where he died might contain more information. Also, I'm not too familiar with the Druids, Odd Fellows or IOMA. Perhaps those organizations had records that still exist. Have you checked that avenue? Perhaps someone on this list might know? Good luck searching!

I appreciate it very much. Is it probable that there is a more complete obituary if I keep searching for it?
