You can write to the Metamora Library and request obituaries that aren't yet in the obit index database at Ancestry. They need the name and date of death. They have the whole index on cards at the library - some which haven't yet been added to the online database. Send mail to: Illinois Prairie District Public Library PO Box 770 Metamora, IL 61548 Costs are: First obit copy on acid free paper and mailed flat - $5.00 Duplicate of the same obit - $.50 each Subsequent obits - $1.00 each Duplicates of subsequent obits - $.50 each If you want your copies on standard copy paper, the first obit is $3.00 and the rest follow the same rates as above. Shirley, you might want to go to your local library and go through the microfilmed newspapers and see if you can't find any references to your grandparents there. If you don't know exactly when he died in February of 1920, at most you might have to go through a month's worth of newspapers to find an obit for him (assuming there was one). I would imagine that the Peoria library would have old Woodford Co newspapers. If not, hop across the county border! Amy atjaden@mindspring.com amy@tjaden.com
