The Woodford Co, Illinois obituary index for the years 1887-2000 is a free database at http://www.ancestry.com/search/rectype/inddbs/6109.htm I found 19 obits listed that I was interested in and sent the list and a check to the Illinois Prairie District Public Library in Metamora 13 Feb 2002. I received copies of those obits from them 27 Feb 2002 and couldn't be more pleased. I'm already compiling another list (this one will be much longer) to send to them. I just wanted to share my experience concerning that database and with the great people at the Metamora Library. I would recommend it to anyone interested in people whose obits might have been published in the Metamora Herald. Amy Robbins-Tjaden atjaden@mindspring.com amy@tjaden.com
