Wonderful idea! I've put this line on hold a few times out of frustration but never given up completely. Here goes: My grandfather, William Harvey Conrad, supposedly died in Winchester, Drew Co., AR in 1935 of a heart attack. He is buried in Scott Cemetery (Desha Co.?) but there is no death certificate for him that I can locate. Dyer Funeral Home handled the details and I am in process of trying to locate those records since the business closed. His widow, Chloe (Lee) Conrad, moved the family to near Dermott and McGehee areas. My mother was only five when her father died and she always said that she didn't remember My elderly aunts, William's daughters, were both about twenty when he died but they would never say much about what REALLY happened. They only said that we shouldn't talk "of such things" and that there was a family secret that they would carry to their graves. They did. I would love to make a trip down to read old newspaper clippings, etc. but can't do it for awhile. Does anyone know of any elderly citizens near Winchester or the NE corner of the county that might remember this family from the early 30s? It may turn out to be a routine heart attack and death and that would be fine; it may be something else and that would be fine, too. Good, bad, or indifferent...my family is my family and I'll still love them. Any suggestions?
