I would so very much appreciate a suggestion for obtaining an obit for Harry H. McCorkle, died 22 Sept 1968 in Los Angeles. I am really stuck on this family. I believe his father was Harry H., b in West Va. and mother Lenore C. born Utah. Last found in 1910 census, Denver. Martha Johnson
Hi Martha. I don't have access to Los Angeles County obit info; maybe this info will be of some help. this CADI says Harry/d.22 Sep 1968 was born CO 1912, so couldn't be the one in 1910 census; however there is a listing in the 1920 CO census for this family.
