Surnames: THARP, ROBERTSON Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/xU.2ADE/416.1 Message Board Post: Hi Neal - In my 1975 Phoenix metro phone book, page 985, left center column is "Tharp William E 1116 E Portland 252-8604". There is no sure way to confirm this is your "William E. THARP" research subject, however it is the only listing for a William E. Perhaps you can trace forward the property records to his date of death to confirm one way or the other if this is your research subject and who may have taken possession of the property following his death. Good luck. Hopefully another volunteer can help you with the obituary or use the search utility at this board and search on "Mesa Public Library" for instructions as to how to ask them to find you an obituary.
