I'm looking for Henry Ritter's death certificate Born abt 1824 or abt 1844. In 1874 he owned a farm just west of Newburg's Corners in Section 16. In 1890: Frank RITTER owned Henry's farm. Where would I look for when the farm was sold and where his death certificate would be? Washington, Monroe, or LaCrosse Co? He could have died any where from 1879 to (his wife's second marriage) on February 24, 1884. As you can see big span of time so finding when the farm was sold might narrow the search. One other question if there was a divorce rather than death to cause the second marriage who has those records? The reason for the big span for his birth date is I found my RITTER family in Germany with one Henry born in 1824 but this could have maybe been my Henrys father? My Henry's wife Lucia Kurantz was born in abt 1855. So that would make the Germany Henry 30 years her senior if that Henry was her husband. thanks Lynn Colorado
