Judy I'll second the the info about the people in Lewiston being very nice. As for newspapers. You might want to check the holdings of the Western Illinois Univesersity (or some name like that) in Macomb, IL. My cousin took me over there for a day and I found a lot of obits. THier libtaty catolog may be on line. Dont know how you plan on geting to fulton county but if you train it the closest depot is Macomb. By the way, IL has a state law that said you have to belong to a IL genealogy society for access to some records. I beonged to both IL Stste and fulton county at that tme. But if you ate going in person you might want to join ahead of time. The only people that asked were in McDounough County, but my cousin was a fairly well known researcher. Julia
