I would appreciate advice on how to obtain an obituary for Judah H. Gilchrist who died 16 June 1915 in Springfield, Wayne County Illinois. I believe he is one of my missing family members. I am trying to determine who his parents were. Would marriage license or death certificate have his mother's and father's name? (He was married to Mary J. Allen in 1886 in Wayne County.) I believe he was born in Franklin County, IN in 1866 but to my knowledge birth records were not recorded at that time. Many thanks for any help you can offer. Dean W. Greenwalt
