I need a little help in knowing what records to research for somebody. Her
name is Augusta Thompson and she died on or about 5 February 1887 in
Hinsdale. Here are some questions I could use some help with ---
1) Are there death certificates available for this year for DuPage County
and if so are they open to research or must they be purchased? If they must
be purchased where and how much?

2) Are there any local newspapers to search for obituaries for this time
period? I have searched Chicago papers with little success.

3) Any local cemetery abstracts that could locate her --- or I could wait
to see the death certificate of course.

4) Any other ideas at all for further information on this person? Other
information I have is scarce. Her husband was William B. Thompson who may
have predeceased her. She was survived by a son William A. Thompson. Her
maiden name was McKinney.

Thanks very much. Appreciate any help.
