This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Shoemaker Classification: Death Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/hg.2ADI/620.1 Message Board Post: You will not find an obituary for John Shoemaker as obituaries just were not done in that time period. He is also not found in the cemetery walkdowns done in the 1960's so he may have had no stone or it may have been gone by the 1960's. Your best bet would be to look for a will and/or probate in Mercer County. We have a page up on the Shoemakers at http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Shores/2731/Shoemaker.html but have no more information than you. There is a cemetery record for a Martha and for a Sarah in Glancey Cemetery in Eliza Township. I will try to get this record and post it for you. If they are daughters of John and Elizabeth, then John is probably buried there too with no surviving headstone. You will also find instructions for ordering a will or probate on our Mercer County Resources page at http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Shores/2731/Resources.html
