Query: Inquest/Coroner Reports, Greene County

                Greetings from New Jersey.  My g-g-grandfather is rumored in family lore to have been a suicide in the town of Bloomfield, Richland Township, Greene County, Indiana, in 1870 to 1874.  I can find no death record in the usual places, and I am now seeking to know if inquests were held back then, and if jury/coroner reports were made at the local level and kept in the towns. 

                I have not tried to contact the town yet until I can get an idea of the system back then.  Could you advise me of what actions or procedures would have been typical back then, and/or suggest where to start looking for possible inquest records?
                Thank you very much. BTW, I went to Indiana Institute of Technology there in Fort Wayne in 1967-68.  Small world!

         I am trying to get information on my 3rd great grandfather, Jacob Stillinger.  He died on 3 Sep 1888. He is buried in Sweet Cemetery, Noble County, Indiana.  I would like to get a copy of his death certificate or records from a funeral home or undertaker, but I'm not sure how to go about it.

        I am trying to find out who his parents were. Thank you!
