Regina, This looks like the family of Emma Golden. Don't know if you already have it or not. 1880 Jackson Precinct, Massac County, Illinois, page 78A Hickum Golden 40 AL farmer AL AL Levina 50 TN keeps house TN TN Charles A. 18 AL Marget C. 16 AL Emma R. 14 AL Levina C. 9 IL Andrew P. 6 IL Hickman M. Golden married Lavina Chastan on 1/23/1877 in Pope County. (IRAD record). 1870 Pellonia Post Office, Massac County, Illinois, page 300b. Hickman M. Golden 30 farming Alabama Mary F. 33 keeping house Alabama Charles A. 8 AL Margaret C. 6 AL Emma 5 AL There are some trees at ancestry with Hickman Golden. According to most of them, his first wife was Mary Francis Chastain, sister of his 2nd wife. One of these trees also remarks that Emma died at 2 days old so I'd take the information posted with a grain of salt. They have birth/death dates for Hickman as 8/11/1839 and 4/13/1897 buried in Otterbein Cemetery in New Liberty, Pope County, Illinois. Lynne

Almost every newspaper in existence has a web site, or next bet is a library in the area the paper is in. Cyndis List is always a good place to start to get links to different sites. The "NO Frills" UrL is http://www.Cyndislist.com/nofrills.htm If you want a particular state, take that two letter abbreviation of the state and change the last part of the address, for instance, her site for California would be: http://www.Cyndislist.com/ca.htm; for Illinois, http://www.Cyndislist.com/il.htm, etc. Pat Hansen -----Original Message----- From: dorac [mailto:dorac@comcast.net] Sent: Saturday, August 02, 2003 5:09 PM To: ILMONTGO-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [ILMONTGO] HOW TO DO--GET OBITS Does anyone know how to get obits. from the Obituary Daily Times and what is one's obligations and cost????? http://www.rootsweb.com/~obituary/ I would appreciate the help.

1920 census--Cache Township, Johnson County, Illinois, page 8b. George H. Caldwell head 25 Mylas " wife 32 George W. " son 1 5/12 Wallise Cavith stepson 9 The George Caldwell who died on 9/23/1942 in Litchfield, Montgomery County was 77 years old. That makes him born around 1865. Most definitely not your George Caldwell. Lynne

Lynne, Thanks for the info on the 1910 census record in Pope Co., IL, for the family of William A. CALDWELL. By the 1920 Census, William A. was deceased, Claud had moved from the Pope Co. area to?, Bessie married and moved to MO, Lula was working at the Jacksonville State Hospital, as was Effie. George H. was supposedly living in the area, but I cannot locate him. I have been unable to find William and family in the 1900 census of Pope Co., so it would be great if you came across the family. Thanks so much, Regina

Well, I can tell you that in 1910, William A. Caldwell was living in Jackson Precinct, Pope County, Illinois, page 87B. Here is the enumeration for his household. William A. Caldwell 49? widowed TN PA TN Claude son 27? Married IL TN AL Bessie daughter 21 single IL TN AL George H. son 17 single IL TN AL Effie daug 13 single IL TN AL Nora daug-in-law 18 married KY KY KY (wife of Claude I presume) I tried to find William in 1900 but not successful. Will try again tomorrow. Lynne

Looking for anyone with info on a George H. CALDWELL, b. 1893, New Liberty, IL, who died in Litchfield, Montgomery Co., IL, on 9-23-1942. I believe he may be the brother of my Grandmother, Bessie CALDWELL OWENS. Other family members include Claud CALDWELL, Lula Belle CALDWELL VEDDER, and Effie CALDWELL DONALDSON. Their father and mother were William A. CALDWELL and Emma R. GOLDEN, from New Liberty, Pope, Co. IL. George was the informant on his father's death certificate in 1916, and it said he was living in Jacksonville, IL, at the time. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Regina

Dear Patty, If his death occurred bet. 1855-80, there would not likely be an official death record---just too early. And without a specific date, it would be pointless to search for an obit or news item about his death. I have had good luck in these difficult cases finding a probate file. Look for one in Montgomery Co. There should be an index that can be checked for it, and the index and the actual records may be available on LDS films so you could do it yourself. Usually somewhere in the probate file a mention will be made of the date of death, the heirs to the estate and their location, and listing of minor children with ages for purposes of establishing guardianship. I have found grown daughter's married names and where they lived this way. They can be a treasure trove of info for the genealogist. Would list any real estate owned by the deceased, and list personal possessions and their value, and who purchased what at an estate sale. This gives you the names of neighbors and an idea of the person's primary occupation and socio-economic status. If you find a probate file and get a date of death, then you can ask the IL State Historical Lib to check for a newspaper item about it. If he died tragically, there might be a news item.

My great grandfather, CHRISTOPHER(CHRISTFORD) RECORD appears in the 1850 Montgomery County census, Eastfork tnshp. along with wife NANCY(Gibson) and children. He also appears in the 1855 IL State census. After that, he disappears. Family lore has it that he died from pneumonia after riding a horse in the rain. Is anyone else tracing this name in Montgomery County? I have searched for some kind of death record for Christopher...perhaps an old publication or notice. Any help or feedback would be most welcome. Christopher was born bet. 1800-1820, supposedly NY or Scotland; have heard both and Scotland appears on death certificates for some of his children. I seek siblings for Christopher and Nancy as well. Thank you. Patty
