    1. Re: Obit Lookup for Rose Wells, please
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Wells, Baily Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/YW.2ADI/4221.1.1 Message Board Post: Yes, my mistake. I first saw the name of the town in Rose's brother's mortuary record, and there it was Flatters Springs. When I could not find it on the Internet, I checked out all the "Springs" towns and found Fetters Hot Springs, which was confirmed on Rose's death certificate. I'm finding mortuary records to be a wealth of information for genealogists! I haven't found any information on Rose for years! I knew nothing of her other than when she lived at home with her parents, so the last I saw of her, she was 9 years old. With her married name and place of residence, what a find! Now, to find her in the 1900 thru 1930 censuses! I've seen a Mrs. Baily in her mother's obituary but no residence, and it has to be her, but try to find a Rose Baily, even with Soundex, that fits her! Here I thought I was all set to know everything about her, but nooo! Also, I have her husband's name, together with residence in 1943, so one might think I could then find other informatio! n on him but there are many, many Charles Wells and his middle initial of "S." does not help. Actually, I am very grateful to have found her, all griping aside. Someday... Thanks for your help, Bob!
