Hello, I am trying to locate information about my relative Louisa Britt Barr. I know she was living in Joliet, IL, in 1951, 1958, and 1963. She was born in Columbus, GA, in 1906 or thereabouts. Her family moved to Montgomery, AL, by about 1920, and she may have married James Worrell Barr there after 1926, when she is listed as Louisa Britt, student, in a city directory. I would like to know if Louisa died in Joliet, or what happened to her. I am especially interested in finding names of her children, perhaps from an obituary. A cousin produced, with no source, the statement that Louisa died 18 June 1968. I do not know if she is buried in Joliet? Can anyone suggest a likely cemetery I might try? Her family were Baptists and Methodists while she lived in Alabama, and I suspect that she kept her religious ties. Since she was from Alabama, though, if she died in Joliet, she may be buried in a large city cemetery. I have no idea what happened to her husband James W. Barr or whether he died before or after her. So far, I have found no matches for either of them in the Social Security Death Index. Can anyone suggest how I might proceed in order to find out more about Louisa and her family? I have no idea when she moved to Joliet. Where would I have access to city directories? I live in Georgia and so am not making much progress with finding more about this family. Any suggestions will be appreciated! Sincerely, Danny Knight
