I am looking for the obituary of Anthoney T. Garland who died April 30, 1925. I'm trying to find where he is buried in hopes of finding the grave of his son William Whitfield Garland who is thought to be buried near him. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Candie

He lived in Christian County, IL. in 1880 with his father, THOMAS TRUE WILSON (Census). I need information on MORGAN BLAIR WILSON. He was not married in 1880 and I do not know if he ever married. I need to know where he is buried in LaSalle, IL. and would like to find out his site. THOMAS TRUE WILSON died in 1896 in Colorado at the home of his daughter, ELMIRA WILSON MOSHER. She married GEORGE MOSHER and some of their children were born near PANA, IL. in the 1850's. MORGAN may have been in a Mental home at the time of his death?
