Purdy, better known as Uncle Will, was my great uncle. He lived here in Meeker since 1906 and until he died. I work at the White River Museum in Meeker and we do have quite a lot about him and Aunt Lillie (Lillian Garber Purdy, my Grandmother Lina's sister)in our oral histories called THIS IS WHAT I REMEMBER. These books can be purchased at our website at www.rioblancocounty.org. You should be able to find both of their obituaries on rootsweb. You can find a listing of obituaries in the Meeker Herald at the following web site: http://obits.rootsweb.com/ Type in persons last name, then a couple spaces then Meeker. A listing of obituaries for that name will appear if there are any. If you need more information you may contact me at wrmuseum@rioblancocounty.org or 970-878-9982 (White River Museum) White River Museum Meeker, CO Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
