I am looking for William Boyd d: April 19, 1938 he died at the La Crosse Poor Farm. I know he is buried there at their cemetery #294 (I believe). As he kept changing his place of birth, and I do not know what might of been put down for where he was born. I also do not know my GrGrandfather's exact date of birth, therefore I cannot send off for his death certificate. I know in IL, there is a lady who can go and get a copy of it for $1.50 ea. I do not know what it might be there. I cannot afford a big charge. But please let me know before you do anything. Also if anyone can guide me in locating where those poor farm records are kept. They are NOT at the Archives in Madison. They advised, either county or at the DHHS. Neither has returned an email nor regualar mail to me. As I am looking as to the "why" he was put in, and which family membeer gave the family info if there was any. Very important to me. Thank you kindly.
