Hello List Members, We need very much to get a copy of the obit for "Bessie E CLARK" who died in Gillespie on 29 March 1999. Would it be best for us to contact the Gillespie Public Library or the Macoupin Co Genie Society to get this obit? We are desperately trying to find out who Bessie's parents were, as her "unknown mother" was married to Oyeton PETERSON when he died in Torch, Mo in 1925, at a young age. The obit of one of Oyeton's daughters names Bessie E CLARK as one of her 3 step-sisters. We hope Bessie's obit will tell us who her parents were, and who her husband/children are, so we can try to contact someone in her down-line, in the hope of gathering as much information as possible concerning Bessie's parents, etc. Thank You for any help or suggestions, Sherry Morell Shelts
