Jane, If you write to the Lincoln Library at 326 S. 7th St., Springfield, Il. 62701 and ask then to look for an obit for you they will send you what they find. The obits have to be during this time frame though: 1861 - 1934 and 1960 to the present. They have been very helpful to me and I didn't have to wait that long. I also have never had to pay for a copy of an obituary. Hope this helps you. Connie
