These death records are from the State of Illinois web page and are provided here for assistance in finding alternate spellings and so our Clinton County Searchers will find them. As usual with early, hand written Clinton County clerk records, be vigilant for the wrong interpretation between the "u" and the "n" and between the "L" and the "S". Background material and tips for using the State data base are given on the State's web page.
The full record information does NOT contain the parents' names but may contain the following items (not every record includes all this 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 |
