I looked up your James Bishop in the North Cemetery, Geneseo, Henry County, Illinois; Oakwood Cemetery, Geneseo, Henry County, Illinois and the Rosedale Cemetery, Cambridge, Henry County, Illinois books. I found no Bishops except one listed under unmarked graves for the Rosedale Cemetery in Cambridge. It's for a Forrest Bishop, died July 25, 1986. Sorry I couldn't have been of more help.

To Barbara Hanson: Thanks Barbara for all your help - can't understand where he would be. I was hoping to get at least an obit which is really hard without having a date of death. Any suggestions on where to go from here??
