To all on the Macoupin County list, I have been compiling obit indexes for the Staunton Star-Times, Staunton, Macoupin Co, IL for the years 1922-1923, 1932, & 1957-1958. I am going to start posting these indexes on this mailing list which will include the name of the deceased, birth & death date. I will post these in alpha order with surname first in all caps. I have more than birth & death on most of these persons so if anyone would like more they can send me an email request personally. Other info might include (if it was available in obit): Place of death & birth, Spouse, marriage date, cemetery, & funeral home or where services were held, parents, & if there were children or siblings listed in obit. Some of these obits just gave age at death (yr, mo, da) instead of date of birth so in order to have a birthdate, I used a birthdate calculator on the Internet to come up with birthdate. This 'might' cause the 'day' of birth to be off by 1 day. If the obit gave the age as # of years old only, the birthdate will be listed as: Abt (then approximate yr of birth). If you see 'N/G' in the place of the birthdate, that means the age was not given in the obit. Also, if the female was married, the index will include both her maiden & married name. The '*' after the surname denotes her married name. I will be starting with 1922 & it will be posted in 3 sections.... 39 names per posting. 1923 & the other years will come later, how much later depends on the # of inquiries I receive for 1922 ..... & other Christmas activities....
