I'm sorry, but I can't seem to find the exact date anywhere. The second obit is for John G. Weise, Jr., who died Aug. 18, 1994. Any help you can give me on these will be greatly appreciated!

    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: BALLOU, BELLEU, ABBOTT, TROTTER, PLATFORD Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/xU.2ADE/491.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Hi Linda - You're very welcome, I was happy to assist. And best of the holidays and New Year to you and your family also. In my haste to do your posting last night based on the on-line record research I did last week, I forgot to include citations from resources in my library of publications. In the 1975 Phoenix metropolitan phone book, a phone book that includes all cites and town proximant to Phoenix, on page 73, right column, is the following listing: "Ballou Lester L 2078 E Balboa Dr Tempe 838-0827". This appears to be your research subject. In this same phone book are a few other BALLOU surname listings, some of which may be related to Lester. They are Clifford, E., Phoenix; Fred H. Jr., Scottsdale; Jim, Mesa; Lance C., Sun City; Robert, Phoenix; and Lieutenant Wesley S. BALLOU, USAF, Luke Field AFB, Glendale. Most people who reside in Sun City are older and probably retired. The Fred Jr. is a Jr. so it appears less likely that he'd be related. The Lieutenant wouldn't be a permanent resident because he's a junior grade officer and USAF likes to transfer them a lot from place to place, usually every two years. The others may be more likely candidates to be related to Lester. Mapquest.com shows the 2078 East Balboa address to be an active address, in a residental area southeast of Arizona State University (ASU) and located at the northern most point of the Shalimar Golf Course. As ASU is Tempe's largest employer, perhaps Lester may have worked for the uinversity at one time, If Lester died while residing at the East Balboa address it may be possible to track down his neighbors who still live in the neighborhood if you wanted to try and interview them as to their knowledge about his who relations were in the "Valley of the Sun". I have several cross directory tools that can be used to compile a list. It would be best however to know his last residental address before embarking on that effort. In my 1964 Tempe, Mesa, Chandler and Gilbert city directory there is no listing for any BALLOU surname. In the address cross directory East Balboa Drive listings only go as high as 344, there is no 2078. This suggests that 2078 East Balboa Drive was a new subdivision in the era of the late 60's and that perhaps the 1969 deed previously mentioned in another posting is for that property. This also suggests that perhaps this is the general era that your research subject came to the Phoenix metropolitan area. Noting that one of the BALLOU's was living in Scottsdale in 1975, I pulled my 1968 Scottsdale city directory which includes Paradise Valley and hit paydirt!! On page 22, right column is: "Ballou Lester (Lil)(spouse) Treas (occupation - Treasurer - a business comptroller, CPA or internal finance person) Trotter Agency (employer - Trotter Agency, Inc. [Insurance Agents - General Lines] 503 North Brown Avenue, Room 1A, Scottsdale, 947-7645) R (R - resides at) 315 Tonalea Way, Apartment 6". There is no phone listed. Now we know he was in the Phoenix metro area in 1968, probably bought their home in 1969. The directory also gives us the names of five people that worked with Lester. They are: Thomas N. TROTTER, President; Suzanne H. TROTTER, Corporate Secretary; Terri TROTTER, Office Worker; Tina TROTTER, Office Worker all residing at 6207 Maverick Road, Paradise Valley, 948-3622. If any of the four of them are still living they could be interviewed regarding Lester. The fifth person is John PLATFORD, Vice-President residing with his wife Anne in Scottsdale at a place described as "Narbeth Penn" which has no other listing in the directory. It's possible Anne PLATFORD also knew Lester, bringing the number up to 6 possible acquaintenances and/or work associates. Being in the insurance business myself and having started in Phoenix in 1968, it may interest you to know that there are going to be significant public records about this business. First as a corporation, Trotter Agency, Inc. had to be registered with the Arizona Corporate Commission (ACC)along with each officer (Thomas, Suzanne, John and Lester). The ACC may still have on file a personal data form completed by Lester for his Treasurer position. Also anyone that works in the insurance business who solicits, sells, or advises/gives advice must be licensed by the Arizona Department of Insurance. Therefore, if Lester were licensed (most agencies license all their employees), public records will exist regarding his licensure. Most Departments of Insurance nationwide require the licensee to notify the Department anytime there is an address or employer change, so both these records could be a rich source of genealogical information for you. Also in the 1968 Scottsdale directory is a listing for a Robert W. BALLOU and his wife Mary C. Robert is also a financial man, working as a Vice-President and Bank Manager in Scottsdale for The Arizona Bank. The directory also notes that Robert is residing in Tempe. The similiarities here are too good to dismiss as it's not uncommon for children to follow in their parents footsteps both as to career or towns or cities of residence. This may be the same Robert (without a middle initial whown however) who is listed in the 1975 directory as living at 4144 North 29th Avenue, Phoenix, phone 249-3341. If this Robert W. BALLOU had a career in banking with the Arizona Bank he's probably retired and could be possibly reached through the personnel department of the bank because of the benefits and retirement income he probably receives from the bank. The SSDI, Maricopa Recorders Office and Knowx.com can give you good clues as to whether these parties are still alive and in the Maricopa County area. If I think of some other resources, I'll leave another posting. Have fun with your research. Glen F. Pritchett, USGENWEB volunteer

    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: BALLOU, BELLOU, ABBOTT Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/xU.2ADE/491.1 Message Board Post: Hi Linda - Thanks for doing your posting per our discussion. If you go to Maricopa County Recorders office public records on-line I found several documents that may be your research subject and relations of his as well. You can find easily enough by using Google.com and type in Maricopa County Recorder. Once at their home page, look for imaged documents which are filed under two separate periods or eras. First of all there is a 1969 deed recorded in the names of Lester L. and Lillie M. BALLOU. If this is your research subject it puts them in Maricopa County during that era and provides an address from which to search records and try to locate other relations. Then there is a death certificate for Lester L. BALLOU that is recorded on 3-15-1990. This doesn't mean this is the date this person died, just the date the certificate was publically recorded. On exactly the same day the State of Arizona filed a Estate Tax Lien on this same person. Both these records can be purchased, along with the deed from 1969 for a very small expense. Also on 3-15-1990 it appears Lillie M. BALLOU, presumeably Lester's wife filed a Quit Claim which would have probably cleared the way for her to assume ownership of some sort of property that he owned or that they owned jointly. This document also lists one Lillie M. ABBOTT, presumeably Lillie's remarried name as the deed also lists a Thomas W. ABBOTT as having an interest in this deed. This could be Lillie's husband taken following Lester's death. If you obtain a copy of this document it probably will list an address as to where Lillie and Thomas were living in 1990 and then they can be easily tracked to contemporary times from that address. Knowx.com also shows that there are two L. BALLOU in Arizona currently. One resides in Phoenix, the other Scottsdale. That information came up when I searched on Lester BALLOU. The same addresses came up when I searched on Lillian BALLOU. Knowx also shows a L. BALLOU as having died in Tempe which agrees with your posting. I did not search on Lillian ABBOTT or Thomas ABBOTT, but you can try that yourself to get a feel as to how the site works. I also didn't search the Maricopa on-line records for one Lillie ABBOTT or Thomas ABBOTT either. You might try it for yourself to see what you come up with. This should give you some things to work on. If Lillie remarried I'd check to see if she and/or Thomas are still living as they, hypothetically are going to be a rich source of information for what you are trying to accomplish. Also the death certificate will identify the physician who pronounced Lester as being dead. This may be his personal physician in which case you can attempt to see if this doctor in still practicing and if so, is Lester's file available to you as a blood relation? If Lester's doctor has ceased practicing or died, it may be possible to find out what medical practice has his medical records in an effort to acquire them. Let me know what you find out, and based on those findings I'll make some other suggestions. Good luck and good hunting. Glen F. Pritchett, USGENWEB volunteer

First in my 1975 metro phone book which covers most cities and towns in Maricopa County there are several listings of interest to you. On page 737, left column is: "Opal Sigmund A. 6041 E Adobe Rd Mesa 985-4032". This appears to be one of your research subjects for reasons more obvious than this phone book listing which will be discussed herein. On page 185, left column is" "Chandler Cramer B. 11433 Lakeshore Dr W Youngstown 933-4862". This also appears to be one of your research subjects as will be discussed herein. Regarding Sigmund A. OPAL his death certificate can be found on the web at the Maricopa County Recorders office documents on-line. The certificate can be printed for your records. The date of death matches your posting, as does his city of residence and his mother's information. His father is shown as Peter T. OPALEWSKI. Perhaps the "T" stands for "Theodore". His wifes name is Angeline Kozera OPAL. His doctor, hospital at death, funeral home and crematory are all listed. He died at 90 years of age and lived in Maricopa for 26 years (arriving 1969 era). His residence address matched the phone book address given some 20 years earlier in 1975. His medical records may still be available if his doctor is still living. Also at the Recorders office are two documents recorded following the death of Cramer B. CHANDLER sometime before July 12, 1982. The two documents are not viewable, however, you can purchase copies from the Recorders office. The documents which are Superior Court filings also mention one William R. CHANDLER and Norma T. FARMER. It would appear at least one of them is a relative of Cramer B. I hope you have fun viewing these documents. Good Luck and Happy Hunting!! Glen F. Pritchett, USGENWEB volunteer

There are two gateways to documents on-line. I only looked at 1982 forward. You might want to study the 1968 to 1982 gateway as I'm sure you'll probably find a lot more on the CANN's during that era. You can view certain of these documents and all of them can be purchased. Good luck. Glen F. Pritchett, USGENWEB volunteer

    1. [Maricopa] Wilfred E. Cann, Sun City, residing there in 1997 - ?
    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/xU.2ADE/490 Message Board Post: Hi, Looking for anything for Wilfred E. Cann. He was born in Detroit, 1913, served in WWII, and was living in Sun City in 1997. (According to a web site of WWII veterans and reunions) A google search listed this on top of page: Wilfred E Cann, (623) 974-0024, 10601 W Desert Rock Dr, Sun City, AZ 85351 A further search of 411 shows no Wilfred Cann listed and a reverse look up shows nothing for that phone number. I have no idea how long google keeps these listings in their database. Does anyone have access to Sun City directories from 1997 - present to see when Wilfred ceased being listed? I believe he might have passed away and am looking for a ballpark date to begin a search for an obit. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Judy Saskatchewan, Canada
