Kyle,

Have you tried the IL State Historical library, newspaper section? They
will look up obits and send copies. I'm not sure what their fee is now, it
used to be $5.00 plus copy costs, with a limit of five, I believe. I could
be wrong on that.

Or for the ones closer to and in Sangamon CO IL, you can obtain obits at
Lincoln Library, %Sangamon Valley Collection, 7th & Monroe, Springfield, IL
62700. They have an index to the IL STATE JOURNAL & REGISTER obits (the
paper was previously under other names, but similiar). They will search for
copy fees and seems like they do require a search fee, but small amount. I
usually just send them a check and say it is a donation if not used. You
could get the Springfield obits I am positive, if they were in there.
Historical Library is located at Old Captiol Bldg. Springfield, IL, not sure
of the zip, 62700 something.

Hope this helps.

Mary Ann
