GENEALOGISTS DO NOT DIE, THEY REACH DEAD ENDS

Nope Mary, I did the research for her myself. and went to the cemetery and took photos for Kathy years ago. I can't even remember now how long ago it's been. the name is spelled Welliver with a little various but not with an a. they ended up in Mercer Co., IL. Buried over by North Henderson. I would have to look it up in my files to get you anymore info on them for you or for Kathy. And Patti, if you are doing an online search at the Illinois Archives for him you probably won't find him. Not alot of them are on there. but the one in the cemetery would also have to look in my old records I did for Kathy might of been his son. I'm not sure so don't quote me on this. but the Archives doesn't have the whole listings online for the deaths. Foxie Volunteer Knox & Warren RAOK Member of the Knox & Warren Co.
