Thankyou for taking the time to help! Nellie May McCraw (with a C) is on her death cert. Her birth in Iowa was a surprise...on Feb 25, 1890 I wonder if Iowa has one of those neat sites like MO has...birth and death records online. Nellie May's father William Overman was born in Iowa, but her mother Mary/Myrinda (unknown) was born in MO I am going to call the Fulton County library today and see what obits and newspaper info could be there.
