Your best bet for finding an obit might be the Il. State Historical Library. I'm not sure what the cost will be for copies since you're out of state, but they will research each appropriate newspaper (I believe Quincy had 3 in 1900). Give them the complete name, date, & place of death. Their address is: Il. State Historical Library Old State Capitol Springfield, Il. 62701 phone 217-524-7216 I checked the IRAD database, and didn't find your Gillespies (records began in 1916). I'm also going to call Greenmount Cem.; if they have burial records, I'll let you know. Libby
Greenmounts records are on line or soon will be. If you have family there, they have asked to for you to help by supplying additional information, such as maiden names. They will incorporate it in their files and site. I also included where my family was from , since all were born out side the country. I also gave them names of the parents. Not all of this info will be on line, but it will be available to any who come in to their office to view the records. ----- Original Message ----- From: "libby" <goosle@adams.net> To: <ILADAMS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 13, 2002 3:31 PM Subject: [ILADAMS] Gillespie cemetery look-up > Your best bet for finding an obit might be the Il.
