Dear Carla,

 

I am assuming you are seeking verification of the information you have given. In the case of  Adeline, the cemetery listing of the death date is not as complete as what you have supplied, but the year is the same. On page 552 of Cemeteries of Brown County, IL the full death date is given (8 Mar 1881) as well as the full name as you have written it. I can scan and send the two pages which include the Larkin Family sketch if this would be of help to you.

 

I have also included the burials of 3 of their 11 children.

 

There is no charge for this information. USGenWeb is dedicated to free genealogy services.
