I also scanned the newspaper at Google Archives and again didn't find a listing through Sept 10th. You need to order the death certificate - it will tell you the funeral home that handled the arrangements, whether she was married, who the informant was, where she is buried or how the body was disposed of. If the informant knew the names of her parents they will be listed on the death certificate. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
