    1. [ILMONTGO] Frank Firley
    2. Mangold & Dittes

    3. I'm struggling to find the burial site and the correct date of death for a Frank (John Frank) Firley. According to the Mt. Olive Herald he died in Walshville in April of 1899. According to the St. Louis Public Library Obituary Index, he died on April 10, 1907. (I tend to believe that the 1899 date is the correct one as he would have been 61 years old.) I have written to the Montgomery County Courthouse, but they have no record of his death on either dates. I am unfamiliar with the area. Can anyone suggest which cemeteries are in the vicinity? Are there published inventories of these cemeteries available? Any other suggestions as to how I might proceed? Adding to the difficulty was the sometimes incorrect spelling of the name Firley. On a few occasions I have seen it spelled "Firle" or even "Ferli". Many thanks for any help you can give me. Myra Dittes

    3. Myra The online Illinois death index, which covers 1915-1950 lists only one Firley: last name first gender/race cert # date of death county township FIRLEY WILLIAM M/W Y-78 0000182 1942-05-09 MONTGOMERY WALSHVILLE TWP I admit this is the wrong guy, but since Walshville hits the only occurrence of Firley in the database, that part seems right. I know this doesn't move you toward your goal, but it does show you're on the right track.
