Posted on: Hancock Co. Il Obituaries Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/HancockObits?read=266 Surname: Beckwith ------------------------- Bless it, I typed the wrong date for the news item. Marinda died Dec. 26, 1898, and the article appeared in a Hancock County newspaper on Jan 4, 1899 - not 1893. (What a doofus - just typing, not thinking.)
