Michelle, I have another possible marriage that you may be able to help me with. I have found the father of Ann Eliza Bradley (who you helped me with before) living in Pana,IL in 1860 already remarried after his wife's death in 1858. I also know that they were living there in 1859. So there is a good chance to find his marriage in this county. Here is the info: William H. Bradley (or Bradly) married Agnes (dont know the last name-I got that much from the census!). sometime between 1858-1860 -most likely not 1858. Is there a city directory for Pana from this period?

I am new to this list and would like to ask if there is anyone with info on the family of Joseph K. Tyler who married Ann Eliza Bradley in Nov. 1859 in Christian CO. Would like to know if there are any children born to this couple. And any other info about them, Ann Eliza died about 1871. Thank you for any help! Lucy Manson

Hi. If anyone out there has access to the 1850 census for Christian Co., would you be willing to look up William George on page 159. Thank you. Sharon

I believe the Pana library has obits on film, but I don't know how to obtain copies without being there in person. I would like to hear if someone knows how to obtain such by mail. [email protected]

Here's something you might try. My great-grandparents died in Pana in the 1970s and it worked for me. The public library in downtown Springfield, IL, has a card file of obituaries and where they can be located. Surprisingly, the obituaries for my great-grandparents and a few other family members from that area were printed in the Springfield newspaper. The Springfield library had the newspapers I needed on microfilm.

Hello...Does anyone know where I might get an obituary of a man who died in Pana in 1917??Thanks.Bette ____________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape WebMail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com.

The Breeze Courier is the present day newspaper for Taylorville. It was the local paper for the time period you are seeking. You can probably write the newspaper as they have microfilm copies and a printer. You could also get the microfilm on interlibrary loan from the state Historical library. I think you can also send to the Illinois State Historical and get a copy of the obituary form them. I do not know the fees charged by the newspaper or the Historical Library.

The Cooper Family has owned the BC for many years, and Mrs. Billie Cooper present owner, and her daughters are all DAR members and very receptive I've always found, to help in genealogical searches. They are very nice folks to work with. D. Ross, Rochester

I'm new to research in this county. Can someone tell me what newspaper may have printed obituaries for Taylorville in 1934 and 1938? Also, do the publications still exist, or is there a library or society who would provide copies by mail? I'm looking for the surname SWEDICK/SCHWITTECK. Gottlieb SCHIETEK (9/30/1850-3/12/1934) immigrated from Germany, though I have no year for that yet. He married Augusta SCHULTZ (1860-1938). They were members of Trinity Lutheran Church and are buried at Oak Hill Cemetery. I have children's names, but would love any family detail anyone could share, and am happy to do the same. Thanks.

On the Christian County, IL census index CD that I have there is a Rasiah HARRIS at Taylorville P.O., on page 805. Now I have never heard of a Rasiah anyone but I am looking for a Josiah HARRIS in that area and I am hoping someone will check for me to see if this anyway could be a misprint, misinterpretation or whatever. I would appreciate anyone helping by looking up the actual census record and even if it is Rasiah not Josiah, letting me know about the rest of the family enumerated here. TIA, Debby Harris McGreehan:) --part1_95d1de0.24ec8f3b_boundary--
