From Ancestry.com, "In Illinois, deaths were not generally recorded on a county level until 1877, and the practice was not universal until 1916. Prior to 1916 deaths were only recorded at the county recorder’s office. After 1 January 1916, it became mandatory to record deaths at both the county recorder’s office and the Illinois Department of Public Health.*"
