Hi, Seekers! There are some 'old' obits - but not all - in the Quincy Herald-Whig in Adams Co., IL. Many people who lived in Hancock Co. may have had published obits in the 'Whig'. Those obituaries are available in the Quincy Newspaper Archive, accessed via the Quincy Public Library's website. You may find some great clues for further research! http://archive.quincylibrary.org/Archive/skins/QPL/navigator.asp?BP=OK&AW=10 Good Searching! Good Luck!Shirley: bobert@i-1.net
