Alphabetical index of the listings in the Clinton County Death Record Book 1.
The full record information contains the following information:
Number, Date of Report, Name, Gender & Color, Age at Death, Occupation, Date of Death, Marital Status, Nationality, Where Born, Length of Residency in Illinois, Place of Death, Cause of Death, Complication, Duration of Disease, Place of Burial, Date of Burial, Name of Undertaker, Place of Business, Name and Address of Physician.
Not every record includes all this information. Also, the state recommended records of deaths be kept in 1877, but it did not become a requirement until 1916.
The LDS microfilm of the full record information is on permanent loan at the Family History Center in O'Fallon IL, and the film can be rented from any other Family History Center.
In addition, we will do lookups upon request. To have a lookup done, send a request via the Clinton County List (to sign up, go to the Clinton County ILGenWeb site and scroll to toward the bottom of the homepage under "Join Our List"). In the subject, or reference line, type Death Record Request, and in the body of the e-mail list the name(s) and the page and record number listed in the following database. The inclusion of this information will facilitate a prompt reply.
PLEASE NOTE: This index has not been fully proofed for accuracy. It
is our hope to one day have the full content of each record online at the
permanent Clinton site, but as there are over 3,000 records, this will
be a long-term project. As we proof each record, we will update the spellings
of the names.
