> Thanks to all for your help. I did write to Adams County Vital Statistics office. They do not show any records of their death. Looks like I will try the State Archives. Do they do the look ups, or do I need to order the film through FHC? I did discover, as I reviewed my cemetery books, that they are buried in the Greenmount Cemetery. Block 4 Lot 72 GUSTAFSON, Helen 1857-1936 GILLESPIE, William "Father" 21 July 1844 - 15 June 1900 Ann "wife" 1845 - 2 April 1915 GILLESPIE, d/o W.E. & Mrs. d. 1909 Age 5 months (granddaughter to above) LOVE, Frank B. 1879-1936 "Father" MCCRELLIS, John D. 1838-1900 Co B (Rest illegible) "Mason" (brother in law to above GILLESPIE) MCCRELLIS, Arabelle 1845-1926 w/o John D. (sister to above GILLESPIE) MCCRELLIS, Gertrude 1874-1949 MONROE, Albert J. 1877-1956 Maye M. 1872-1949 EICHMAN, Mary 1858-1940 CLEMENS, Anna n/s d. 30 Mar 1950 Now I think that I want to research the cemetery records for GILLESPIE, or the funeral home. Has anyone contacted Greenmount Cemetery to see if they give copies of records for burial. I know in some, you can get quite a bit of family info off of these. Are there funeral home books or perhaps an obit that would give more info? Thanks again for your help.
