Good Afternoon Patricia, Just wondering if you live in the Union County, Illinois area? I would love to find someone who could do 2 obituary lookups (one in 1943 and the other in 1964) for me and I am willing to pay for their time. I think that one of their obituaries would break down a major brick wall for my genealogy. Both of my relatives died in Anna State Hospital and were buried in Thistlewood Cemetery - Mounds, Pulaski County, Illinois. Thanks for your reply.

To Patriciastaley223, I am looking for information on my g grandfather William Henry Davis, who lived in Ridge Precinct, Union Co. on the census dated 2 July 1880. He was married to a Lucinda Yates and had 3 children, John born 1873, William b) 1874 and Nora Bell (B) 1880, all in Illinois. Some time after this census William Henry died, because Lucinda remarried a James S.Stone on 18 May 1884 in Cobden. She states on her marriage license that she is widowed. I am looking for an obit, probate or guardianship papers on the family. After 1800 census I can't find any thing on the children until the year 1900 when all 3 children got married. So some one must have taken the children in and raised them. I would appreciate any help.
