    1. Re: Medical Need for Death Data for 1901 and after 1909
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/0V.2ADE/2343.1 Message Board Post: Hello. You can try the Arkansas Death Index which covers from 1914-1918. If they were living in 1910, some may have made it as long as 1914. It will tell you their date of death and then perhaps you can order a death certificate on some. The death index is a common book in Arkansas public libraries. If you are interested in an obit, I know a lady who does research if you wish to go that way. She will go to the history commission in Little Rock and search. But as far as real info on causes of death, I cannot be a bit of help. Someone in the group may have had the disease. In my family typhoid took several lives and nearly took my mother in 1940 so something besides just the rare disease may have gotten them. It is very possible that their names are listed in the cemeteries of the county. That info is found on the opening of this site. It depends on how you came to this area to post on whether you saw it or not. If you have photos you were blessed and that indicates to me that the family was living pretty well for the times. If they were German it is very possible they are in the German cemetery as my cousin would say, but what it is now called I cannot recall. If they were German it is very possible that someone came down to Little Rock from St. Louis. LInda
