    1. [ILLASALL-L] Peru burial
    2. linda
    3. Hello Listers, I am new to the list. I have a problem in LaSalle county, and wonder if anyone can help. I'm looking for a burial for Frederick DOREI, or DORI. I have some court affidavits from a trial in KS that says he died in Peru in approximately 1867. He was found on the train tracks near the Rock Island depot. The affidavits say there was an inquest and he was buried in the city cemetery. I have written to the Peru city cemetery, and got a reply that they had no record of the burial, and had checked other local cemeteries with no luck. Frederick's family was Catholic, so it could be that he was buried in the church cemetery, but I don't know which other cemeteries my correspondent looked in. My question is, it there a compilation of cemetery indexes from LaSalle county that I could have searched? Frederick was also a veteran of the 104th Ill in the Civil War. It is from his pension file that I got this information, but unfortunately only an approximate date of death was given. Thank you, Linda Dorei
