The probate records for Saline County, Illinois, are held by the Circuit Court Clerk in the courthouse at 10 E. Poplar Street in downtown Harrisburg, Illinois. The names I selected from the index included:
McKenzie, E.E. 43-2
McKenzie, James 16-26
Rice, James A. 44-29
Rice, Opal 271-6
Rice, Mary 94-4
Rice, W. H. 85-17
Rice, Green B. 92-21
Rice, A.L. 21-13
Rice, B. H. 51-25
Patello, L. A. 65-12
Pattillo, Felix G. 18-10
Johnson, James 95-26
Johnson, J.A. 12-28
Powers, Bertie 204-8
In BOLD are the files I actually examined and will publish extracted items from them on the blog or my website, or both.
I probably would have looked at more files and examined the index more thoroughly, but spent most of the morning across the hall in the Saline County courthouse extracting deeds. Because I was onsite and looking through the probate documents myself as well as copying them myself (which was no problem since I was standing next to the copy machine) there was no charge. It was FREE!!! A few years ago I had sent for a file for E. E. McKenzie* (different than the one listed above) and it cost approximately $30.00. I did not copy every item in the probate files; a request through the clerk's office would have sent every item, but then again, I would have paid for it (them).

It was a good day of genealogical research.
