    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: jjcaffrey Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.massachusetts.unknown/7374.3.1.1.1.2/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Another thought might be to locate the death record of Sarah... In the 1942 Attleboro directory, Colin, Sarah E and Colina A are all listed. In 1944, Sarah is listed as the widow of Colin, so Colin likely died in 1942. Had he died in 1943, the date of death would have been listed in the 1944 directory. The home, btw, was 179 Commonwealth Ave, Attleboro Falls. Sarah and Colina both appear in the 1946 directory. Unfortunately, the next available online is 1949, and neither Sarah nor Colina are listed. So, I would suggest that you send an email to the Attleboro Public Library --> http://www.sailsinc.org/attleboro/ques.asp The library has both city directories and newspapers. Ask if they can check the directories for 1947 and 1948 for Sarah Campbell. I suspect they will either find a date of death, or that Sarah has moved. If she had moved to a new town, they would publish that in the following year's directory. If the librarian can find a date of death, they could then perhaps look for an obituary in the newspaper. Colina appears to have married to a gentleman named Johnson. Here is her birth record from 1905 --> https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.2/M6MC-GG7/p_11288093428 And here is a Social Security death record for 2006... Social Security Death Index about Colina A. Johnson Name: Colina A. Johnson SSN: 019-14-4277 Last Residence: 93290 Woody, Kern, California Born: 1 Aug 1905 Died: 26 Jan 2006 State (Year) SSN issued: Massachusetts (Before 1951) Colina 'Mitzie' Johnson Payroll account manager Graveside funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Monday at Lindsay-Strathmore Public Cemetery.

She enjoyed knitting, modeling for Strathmore Town & Country Club and was an avid golfer until age 85. Colina was also a member of the Order of the Eastern Star.
