I have an ancestor, John Ward that was born April 11, in England and died April 17, 1910 in Cicero, Hamilton County, Indiana. He married in 1871 in Streator and spent most of his life in Streator. I sent to the Library in Cicero and obtained the following obit published in The Sheridan Newspaper on April 22, 1910. John Ward of Cicero, died Saturday night at the age of 60. A wife and three daughters constituted his immediate family. I am wondering if a much bigger obit for him was published in his hometown newspaper, since this is where he spent most of his lifetime and the rest of his family lived here. Would someone on this list be kind enough to check at the Streator Library for an obit for John Ward who died April 17, 1910. I would very much appreciate any help. Jane

Hi, I am not able to get to the library for a while. The public library will look up the obituary for you. John Ward's obituary date is April 18, 1910, page 1 in the Streator Free Press Daily. He was 60 years old and buried in Indiana.

Joan, Thanks! I am glad to hear that there is another obit. I hope it has a few more details than the one in Indiana. Do you have an index of the obits? If so, could you see if John's wife Elizabeth is on there. I have a year of death for her - 1923 - but that is all. If there is an index maybe I can at least get a month. Any help will be appreciated. Again, thanks for letting me know of John's obit. Jane Joan wrote: > > Hi, > > I am not able to get to the library for a while.

Sorry, I only have the years 1872 - 1915 and 1936 for the Streator paper only. Joanie Jane Westerkamm wrote: > > Joan, Thanks! I am glad to hear that there is another obit.
