Surnames: Butren Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/lY.2ADE/647 Message Board Post: Can anyone tell me what newspapers are local to the Canon City and Florence area? I am also wondering if anyone knows how to go about contacting whoever is in charge of the Union Highland Cemetery in Florence? My gr-grandfather was Walter George Butren (b.27 Jun 1893, d.23 Oct 1969) and his last known residence (according to the SSDI) was Canon City. I also found that he is buried in Union Highland Cemetery (block 68, record 6473). I'm not sure if he would have even had an obituary (he left Chicago in the 40s and our family never heard from him again) but I would like to try to find out. I appreciate any help that can be given. I'm currently located in RI so I have a hard time accessing records. Thanks in advance, Best Wishes, Melinda A. Gardiner microdoll411@cox.net
