I am sorry but as far as I know, I am not related to any of the people in the obituaries,
so I cannot help you.
I scan the obituaries in my local newspapers, and if I come across a familar name, I post
the obits to help other researchers.
The name Carroll is in my tree, but I am only related to the Carroll family through
marriage in Southern Indiana.
... and in the event that researchers were not aware of this, for $25/year you can join
the Illinois State Genealogical Society,
http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilsgs/
and through them you can order death certificates for individuals who have died between
1916 - 1947 at a discounted price.

What is wonderful about their service is that you can do it all by internet, and pay them
directly through PayPal so you avoid the prolonged waiting period of mailing your order,
waiting for them to get it and then they mail the certificates to you.
