I have been trying for 2 years to find information on my great-grandfather, Hardin Joseph (aka Joseph Hardin) LaPlante. He was born January 29, 1856 in Shutesbury MA to Medard and Julia (Shaw) LaPlante. On 10/26/1905, his son Burton Shaw LaPlante committed suicide in Pelham MA. After that time, Hardin's wife, Addie Louise, refused to talk any more about him and Hardin disappeared. None of my family members know where he went. Does anyone out there have any information that might help me figure out where he died and when? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
