Sheldon & Pat, Thanks for the help. After finding the online FCI obituary list I found the death years for the two people , I was looking for, Joseph Eugene Brown d 1959 and his mother Mollie Shepherd died 1960 I am writing for their obits. $4 bucks a bargain. Both seemed to be buried at Shiloh Cemetery, Ewing, FCI no. dates for her on FAG SAYS unreadable?.. Is there alternate source for people listed in Shiloh Cemetery, to get dates on stone for Mollie.Sheperd/Shepherd? Also getting Henry C Brown 1959, may not be mine James m Stillwell 1947 And have them check for these non indexed. Obituaries. Mattie Carrie Blair Brown Robinson Potts age 34 died 01 -oct-1934 Benton, FCI Josephine Taylor Blair age abt 79. died 07-Jan-1940 Benton, FCI James Wesley Blair age abt 66 died 2 Jan 1924 Benton, FCI Thanks again Lonnie Lonnie fink Lonfink@comcast.net On Apr 2, 2013, at 9:35 PM, ilfrankl-request@rootsweb.com wrote: > > Message: 5 > Date: Tue, 2 Apr 2013 19:16:30 -0600 > From: "Sheldon Jones" <srjones@pcisys.net> > Subject: Re: [ILFRANKL] BLAIR OBITUARIES WHERE? > To: <ilfrankl@rootsweb.com> > Message-ID: <005c01ce3008$dfceb2a0$9f6c17e0$@pcisys.net> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" > > Lonnie, > To answer your initial question: > a) the only real extended source for FCI obits we have is Carla Pulliam > books of extractions from Benton newspapers (1850-1946) and Daily American > (West Frankfort; 1921-1935) -- some of us have all these books and can do > limited lookups > > More specifically to your request: > for 1924 Carla states in her book: "microfilm not available from 03 > January 1924 through 15 April 1924" > Carla's 1943-1946 book starts 02 Apr 1943 for the year 1943 -- not sure > why. > > You can order these microfilms supposedly through interlibrary loan from > Springfield -- for a while they would not send them out-of-state, but > perhaps this is possible now... > > -SRJ > ... > > > > ------------------------------ > > Message: 6 > Date: Tue, 2 Apr 2013 20:18:26 -0500 > From: "Pat Corona" <corona245@comcast.net> > Subject: Re: [ILFRANKL] BLAIR OBITUARIES WHERE? > To: <ilfrankl@rootsweb.com> > Message-ID: <89FCA95110304062AC36F9C50C40E8A8@DellDesktop> > Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="iso-8859-1"; > reply-type=original > > 15 June 1933 > "the body of Isaac CRIDER, 74, was taken from the Big Muddy River late > yesterday.
