Ellen had a sister Elizabeth who married John Verhoeks in 1893 and she died Aug 1, 1935 in Illinois, either in Milksgrove Township, Iroquois County or in Herschel, Kankakee, Illinois. Can anyone find her obituary?

She is buried Pilot Center Cemetery, Herscher, Kankakee Illinois

Memorial ID 7411217

John is next to her 7411216, he died 1940

Thank you, amondg. I have now found her as Lizzie Johnston Verhoeks on findagrave. Now, if we were to find her death certificate or obituary, looking for the birth place of her father Thomas.

Edward Johnston had a brother James Johnston who was born Mar 6, 1878 in Douglas Township, Iroquois Co., Illinois and died 17 May 1949 in Guymon, Texas Co., Oklahoma due to a tornado. Is there an obituary or death certificate for James Johnston, which might have information about his father Thomas J. Johnston. thanks for any help.

Thank you Sandra. These articles are great but I couldn’t access the last one-says this clipping has been marked as not public. If it is your clipping, please sign in to view it. Which I can’t do.
Now to look for his death certificate.
