The Illinois Death Database shows a James William BURKETT who died 24 Oct. 1930 in Fairfield, Wayne County, IL. Does anyone know who this James William BURKETT is? The James William BURKETT that I am interested in was the father of Joseph B. BURKETT. Joseph was married to my grandmother's sister, Martha Ellen SMITH, d/o William SMITH & Mary Ann MARSHALL. This James William BURKETT was in the 1930 Franklin County Federal Census shown as 74 yrs old and living with a daughter-in-law. The Wayne County Press microfilm only shows J. W. Burkett as an aged man who died at the home of his niece in Fairfield. The article is in the crease of the paper so the niece's name does not show. It only states that he had 6 children, 11 grandchildren and ? great-grandchildren. Could not tell if they were "survivors" or "total". Thanks for any help, Bob Jones
