But.... Eureka!!!! I have found a major clue in my search. I simply picked up the phone and called the cemetery in which Sarah/Sallie Douglass Rencher Anderson is buried (and that would be St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church in Pittsboro, N. C.) They put me in touch with a local historian, who in turned looked Sarah up in the cemetery register. She died in Harmon Park, N. Y. (1934), was cremated, and her remains shipped to the cemetery for internment. So now I know where to find her death certificate, and any probate papers that could be available....which hopefully will shed some light on her daughter Mary Louise Anderson.... I have my fingers crossed! It's quite possible that her husband, Latham Anderson (d. 1910) has a death certificate, and/or probate papers filed there, too. thank you for your help... kind regards bev bev <brencher@earthlink.net>
