Sharon, If you have the date of death you might be able to find a death certificate at Springfield. I visited the State Archives a few years back and found a gold mine. You sit and view the microfilm and can make copies from it for 50 cents. I was able to copy, births, marriages, deaths and some other court records for 50 cents each then bring everything home and make connections later on. I thought I was in heaven. But again if you can not make it to the Archives (or maybe it was the state library) you can always write and get a copy of the certificate for about $10.00.
