The Rochelle Herald Jul 1917- Dec 1917

 

Extracted by Laurel Urlaub Hendrickson ogleresearch@earthlink.net

(I have done my best in looking through newspapers to extract the births, marriage, deaths that appear. With the older papers some may be missed as they can appear on any page. If I did not see any BMD for a date I did not list that date in this file. These are just extractions, some notices may have much more then what I wrote, and some were very brief. You may request copies for a small fee by emailing me.
