Dear
Barbara,
Here’s
the information you requested:
From
Cemeteries of Brown County,
Illinois
Mt
Sterling City Cemetery pp. 229, 409
Henry H.
Nichols d. 14 May 1930, Illinois Pvt 101 Engra.
John J.
Nichols, d. 4 Jul 1902 – p. 409 lists his death date as 14 July 1902. [ There
are so many typing errors in the book that this is not uncommon, you will have
to look for an obituary in the newspaper to determine which date for
sure.]
John
Nichols, 17 Jan 1894, age 51 years. Co. E 16th Illinois
Inf.
Jonathan
Nichols, son of S. Douglas and M.
Nichols, 7 Aug 1880 – 8 Jan 1898 [ The full names of the parents were not
listed. Again this requires a search of the obituaries. The Mt Sterling Public
Library has microfilms of the newspaper for that period of time. You might be
able to request an interlibrary loan. The state did not require death
certificates this early, so that option isn’t available. In Brown County, the
cemeteries book is the only resource for deaths this
early.]
Statewide
registration of deaths started in 1916.
Sincerely,
Ken
Huffman
