    3. Hi Kathy, there is NO death cert. for her I checked. Source of what William CONRAD(who died in 1966)was -his father John CONRAD who started recording these entries in 1892 who decided to keep a record of all Peotonians deaths. Records were kept in seperate books for each year, at John's death in 1919 there were 27 books.William got them and kept up the work until 1927 when they were destroyed by fire. He then made a survey of all Peotone area cemeteries and got some folks that his father hadn't gotten. He claimed in 1963 that he had included friends and relatives who never lived in Peotone. The original copy of the necrology is at the Peotone Public Library. It is a handwritten ledger in very fragile condition. Robert Degenkolb got permission from the library to photocopy it and providing copies to several genealogy libraries(WGGS collection has the one I looked at). Robert Degenkolb's address in 1996 was 116 Knollwood Lane Fairfield Glade,TN 38558 That's all I know. Kathy Zavada
