Here's the information you requested:

From Cemeteries of Brown County, Illinois, p. 285
Beckam Cemetery

Mary Classon Longdor d. 21 July 1912, aged 25 y, 3 m, 12 d.

[I agree that this could be a misspelling of her name. It appears that she is the only person of this surname with a recorded burial in the County between 1830 and 1972. We do not have any family members to compare with to confirm the spelling. If the dates are correct and you can be certain that she is your grandmother. I will be happy to make a note and enter this correction in my copy of the Cemeteries book. Let me know.]

It is too bad that deaths were not officially recorded by the state until 1916. A death certificate would be helpful. However, the Versailles Area Genealogical and Historical Society has extracted the obituaries from the newspapers and I know that 1912 is covered. You might check with them to see if her obituary provides more information.

Sincerely,
Ken Huffman
