Some time before Xmas I sent out some of Marty's death notices for transcription, and a bunch of people volunteered, but the holidays and other happenings got in the way. Anyway, I have images of the annual death notices lists from 1930 and 1939-1959 that need to be transcribed, except for the ones Dan Marshall already did from 1950-1955. There are about 250 names per year. Also looking for volunteers to proofread the transcriptions using the online images. Also looking for volunteers who would like to check the Carrollton Patriot death notices against the IL: State Archives death certificate database, making corrections and noting which on our list are also in the State's list. Anyway, the files are already to go. There are 28 files, each encompassing about half a year, or about 100-125 names. I will send instructions along with 4 files at a time to whoever can help with this worthy endeavor. Thanks Jeannie Smith Co.
