Peoria State Hospital was originally called Peoria State Hospital for the Insane until it was closed. Peoria St. Francis is a medical hospital run by the sisters of the Order of St. Francis, and is the largest of the 3 Peoria hospitals. Bill McNett
Tasha, The address for the Peoria County Courthouse is: Clerk of the Circuit Court Peioria County Courthouse 324 Main St., Room G-22 Peoria, Illinois 61602 You probably will have a difficult time getting adoption records. I wrote to them recently to try and get my father's adoption records and it took six months to get a reply. The courthouse will not release adoption records on the basis of an oral or written request. If "good cause" can be shown it is possible to obtain a court order to open an adoption file by filing a petition. The courthouse sent a two page letter explaining a couple of options. If you would like me to send you the text of the letter, let me know and I will type it out for you.

My great aunt was Mattie Colson. The obituaries of her brothers, David Alonzo and Joseph Johnson both referred to her as surviving and living in Peoria, IL. Any Colson's out there who may know about this woman? Thank you. Christina Strickland Oregon City, OR
I do not know what time period you may have in mind, but I checked in the phone directory and there are eight persons named COLSON in the latest directory. You should be able to access these names and addresses thru online phone directories like LYCOS www.lycos.com I hope this helps. Bill in Denver
Hello Tasha; I do not know what you mean by the "old" courthouse, but I guess it does not matter. It is history. The courthouse where you can now request records is: Joann Thomas Peoria County Clerk (phone: 309-672-6056) Room 109 Courthouse 324 Main St. Peoria IL 61602-1368 and the info for the replacement of the Peoria State Hospital is: George Zeller Mental Health Center 5407 N University Peoria IL 61614 phone: 309-693-5000 Bill in Denver
Not in operation. Contact Zeller Zone Center. And lots o' luck Bill McNett

I just received a death certificate that stated my great aunt died in the Peoria State Hospital in 1951. Does anyone know if this institution is still in operation and what the procedure may be to request records. Thank you. Chris Strickland Oregon City, OR
the state hosp. was in bartonville il just out side of peoria, it closed in the late 70s i think,you might check the zeller mental health center in peoria i think they may know about these records
Peoria State Hospital is NOT any longer in existence. The records, I have heard, can be found at the Zeller Mental Health Center on N. University St. I have also heard that it is difficult to get records from them. If you need the address, you may contact me; I have a current Peoria phone book. Bill from Denver
I have in my possession copy of a "Petition of Nancy CARTER in the matter of the Estate of Levi CARTER, deceased..." This is a very short document and lists the given names of Levi's children and his wife, Nancy. The question that I have is, are there any more legal papers connected with this petition. Wouldn't there be an answer to the petition or a final ruling in black and white? Does anyone know how I can find out about this? Barb

A lot of bodies weren't embalmed in those days. Lynn-Dallas ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
I don't believe that in the 1880's they were embalming bodies. That didn't start until the early 1900's. The neighbors could have prepared the body and buried so they would have supplied the info for death certificate.

Hi listers, I have a friend that has a death certificate for an ancestor who died in the 1880's (Sorry, she didn't tell me the exact year) where the 'signature' in the blank for Mortuary/Funeral Home is: neighbors My friend insists that 'Their neighbors took care of the morticians duties'. I feel more inclined to believe the Mortician/Funeral Director was Neighbors Mortuary. Is there anyone who can check a city directory for me? I can't believe that just anybody could embalm a body! E.
