Lookup Request at FamilySearch Center or Affiliate Library

Question

I'm wondering if someone with a FamilySearch center or affiliate library could check something for me. I'm not close to any of them.

"Illinois Deaths and Stillbirths, 1916-1947", , FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NQRN-KPJ : Mon Mar 11 01:49:31 UTC 2024), Entry for John C Withey and Elias Withey, 23 February 1918.

Since no image of this is available online, I'd like to check that the father is actually listed as Elias Withey and learn what other information may be found. This could help untangle a huge knot in the upstate New York/Pennsylvania Withey families.

Edit: to my very pleasant surprise, a library 32 miles away is now listed as an affiliate. I will give it a try.

Comments

I'll be in an affiliate tomorrow. If you haven't gotten an answer by then, I'm glad to check this for you.

That would be wonderful. I won't get to the affiliate until next week some time.

Answer 1

My timeline ended up taking longer due to network ID issues at the library. But the problem has been resolved and I'm circling back to your request.

I attached the image of the death record to John Withey's profile. It does indeed list Elias Withey (b. New York) as his father. Mother's name is unknown.
