There probably isn't an official death record. I believe that was before the court house fire. The marriage record falls into the same category BUT you may be in luck. There is a Lolling researcher on the list. He gets the digest so give him some time to respond. Here's the location of the state marriage records index but it does not include records destroyed by fire: http://www.sos.state.il.us/depts/archives/marriage.html There is a link to that on the main Logan County web page at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~illogan/loindex.htm Cheryl Rothwell clrothwell@mindspring.com
