FYI: The following address is for the MO state archives death index 1916-1955. I have searched forever for my grandfather and he turned up here. I typed in just the last name and he was listed. Cost 1.00 plus sase/postage. http://www.sos.mo.gov/archives/resources/deathcertificates <http://www.sos.mo.gov/archives/resources/deathcertificates/>
