Ancestry.com shows a Vera Rosa Ripley with a death date in 2006, obituary in a PA newspaper. Hopefully you can find a bit more information by crossing the boarder. I'd be a bit more vague, but something odd I don't understand is happening. That hit comes from the free version of ancestry, so of course, all the good info is locked. However, if I put her through our library edition, I don't get a single hit? Still looking around for a possible article from the Ruskin paper. Likely going to be a problem, as I think the only "local" paper is one of those freebie types we get by the handful around here. Tampa Tribune index didn't turn up anything on her either. ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, October 11, 2006 3:46 am Subject: FLHILLSB Digest, Vol 1, Issue 20 To: [email protected] > > I was wondering if someone would be kind enough to locate an > obituary for Vera Ripley born 08/04/1900 and died 03/19/2006.
