Cara, I would recommend that you contact Evergreen Cemetery (formerly Old City Cemetery). It is a large cemetery that was very active at that time and is still active today. The number is 1-309-827-6950 and they are very helpful. If that doesn't yield the answer you are looking for, contact me back and I can do a cemetery look-up the next time I get to the library (will likely be a few weeks). Your call to the cemetery would be better however, as I have known instances where burials were not included in the cemetery books. Hope this helps, Lisa, McLean County >From: Cara Showers <[email protected]> >To: [email protected] >Subject: Death records Pre-1916 >Date: Sat, 27 Jan 2001 22:19:29 -0900 > >I was wondering if anyone knew of an easy (or maybe hard) way to find a >death record before 1916 (specifically 1913) that happened in Bloomington, >IL.

It appears that they, too, only go from 1877 to 1900. (Unless I'm missing something.) It was hard for me to search the database, maybe I wasn't doing it right, but when I took a look at their holdings for McLean Co. I only found one database for death records and it went from 1877 to 1900. Maybe I will just have to write the county clerk and hope they can do a manual search for me for the year 1913. Thanks to everyone for the advice. -- Cara Showers Anchorage, Alaska [email protected] Volunteer of Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness at http://raogk.rootsweb.com ---------- From: "L.
