Coroner's Directory
Greene County, Illinois
Book #1
1874 - 1883
One of our fellow list members has graciously offered to transcribe the information from this book which covers the years 1874 - 1883, and one additional book for the years 1884 - 1919.
Her father purchased a huge box of old books from an estate sale in Greene County some 30 years ago. The box, forgotten all these years, came to her after the death of her parents. In the bottom of that box, she found the two volumes of coroners records. Thank heavens the box came to someone with an interest in and love for researching family history! As with all old records - there are many mis-spelled names. Penny prepared the index with names spelled as they are in the old book, so be creative when checking for names you are researching.
Information included in these entries, which vary in size from just a little information to quite a lot, includes such items as Name; Sex; Physicial Description; location where the coroner's inquest was held; names of the coroner and his jury; a list of witnesses, and the coroner's jury verdict.
If you are interested in seeing a transcription for one of these entries, you may email Penny and request that it be put online.
NOTE: The
county clerk has decided that they would like to have the copies of these books returned to the county. They have promised to
copy the books and send copies to Penny so that she can continue to make the transcriptions available. Until
she receives copies of the books, she will be unable to add additional transcriptions.
If the entry is online, just click on the page number (it will be a different color).
