Still trying

I'm beating myself up because I don't know how to send off for a death certificate for my great great grandpa.  I've been trying to listen to some podcasts about the subject but everytime I sit down I always end up doing something or get distracted.  I can't find him in earlier census.  I can't find any information on him before he was married.  I find them as a couple on census records but nothing before that.  It's like he appeared out of thin air and married.

Another job I want to do in the next year is make a trip back to Illinois where this picture was taken and find out who made this stone.  They paid for all dates to be on it and grandpa's death date is missing.
I am determined to find him when he was a child and learn about his parents.  I haven't exhausted all my resources just haven't had time to persue them.
