I have the Illinois Dept. of Heath Death Census Index for the names of SHAFER, SHAFFER, SCHAFER and SCHAFFER. This covers all the recorded deaths in Illinois from 1916 to 1946. I will do lookups, just give the first and last name and county if you know it. If you find the death your looking for it will give the certficate number and the certificates are free from the Illinois Archives. You can only order two at a time. There is a charge if you want a CERTIFIED COPY. Good luck on your search. Merry Christmas from, John & Shirley Shaffer Springfield, Missouri
