Surnames: Driskell, Cain
I am looking for death information for three individuals who lived in Clark Co. If someone could help me locate death dates for the following three people, I would appreciate it.

JAMES A DRISKELL, b: abt 1838 in IL. In 1880, he was farming in DesMoines, Clark Co. I may be having a problem with the spelling of his surname which can be spelled (or misspelled) in other ways - eg. Driscol. His wife was Airie Cain and they had apparently married in the early 1860s. I have been unable to locate much more data about James except in the 1920 census when he was 80 years old and living in a town called Kahoka, Lincoln Twp, Clark Co. He is living with a 67-year old wife named Matilda and his occupation was listed as "nurseryman" (p 10A). I also have undocumented information indicating that he served as a judge at some point.

The presence of a wife named Matilda in 1920 suggests that his first wife Airie had died or they had separated. His first wife was the mother of Mable Driskell (b: IL) and Lulu Driskell (b: Clark Co, MO).

So I am also seeking death information for AIRIE CAIN DRISKELL. She was the daughter of John Gordon Cain who came from Pennsylvania and settled in Union Twp, Clark Co before 1870. Her mother was deceased when the family migrated to Missouri. Airie was born abt 1843 in PA and apparently died sometime after 1880.

JOHN GORDON CAIN, b: abt 1819 in PA, father of AIRIE,was alive in 1900 when he was still living in Union Twp. His second wife was named Nancy. I would also like to find his date of death.

Thank you for any assistance you can provide.
