Our volunteers have  built and continue to maintain many local records. These records include but are not limited to obituary care and filing for lee county, contiguous counties, and local Illinois and Missouri obituaries.  They assist with genealogy requests and assist with walk-in genealogy and internet research requests.  Inquiries can be made by calling the library and leaving your name and number with the librarian for the volunteers to return your call.
