She was last known alive in Mar 1881 (age 64) when she signed a grandchild's birth cert as midwife, Monroe Co, IL, Moredock precinct, Merimack Station P.O. According to 1870/80 census records, she was born in Prussia abt 1817, was a widow & lived with son Henry on a farm near New Hanover. I did not find her (or any of the other family members in 1900 census). I suspect she died in Monroe Co before Henry & his family moved to St. Louis sometime between 1887 & 1900 (too bad there's no 1890 census!). >> How about a tax list? Or a city directory or farmer's directory? Or probate? Or obit in a newspaper (check Illinois State Archives). Linda
