I am seeking data/obituaries, on my great grandfather and grandmother, Michael and Elizabeth Dillon BOWE. They moved from New York City, NY, first to Pittsfield, Pike County, Illinois in 1859/60 and then in Jerseyville, Jersey County, Illinois in (ca) 1870. Michael passed 12/6/1914; Elizabeth 6/7/1913; they are buried in St. Francis Cemetary, Jerseyville.
I will deeply appreciate any data you may be able to render.
