Sharon, I checked a few databases but came up empty. He is not shown on that Gold Star Honor Roll as listed on Ancestry. http://search.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=5182&cj=1&netid=cj&o_xid=0001029688&o_lid=0001029688 This is an Ancestry.com site containing the Indiana Gold Star Honor Roll, 1914-18 ------------------------------ Message: 7 Date: Wed, 27 Jun 2012 21:07:17 -0500 From: Sharon Reynolds <sreynolds@knology.net> Subject: Re: [IN-SOUTH-CENTRAL] Floyd County: Hobart George Beach Died To: in-south-central@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <D9B454D0-C91C-42A4-B673-20DDB96D2B86@knology.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Hello Randi I'm a recent new comer to the Indiana rootsweb listing and have found many of the articles and information quite intriguing. Also, I've been looking for a relative who died in France during WWI. I didn't even know he existed until I recently found my g-grandfather's obit where it mentions his son Leroy Rudolph who gave the ultimate sacrifice for his country in France. I've searched some of the major sites but nothing turns up. Is there a special listing for the Gold Star Honor Roll? Is this just for Indiana or all states. Sorry, I'm still trying to learn more about how to search for war related items. I've also looked on Fold 3 without luck. Appreciate any ideas. His father was Henry C. R. Rudolph, and mother either Josephine or Martha. Henry was married twice and I'm not sure which woman is his mother. They lived in Indiana and Ohio. Is there another list for Indian South-East.? Please forgive me if this is not in the realm of the protocol of the list...just let me know and I'll not ask questions.

Sharon, My source for the information about Hobart George Beach and others who died in the service during WWI, came from the book, as noted below, available online at http://archive.org/stream/goldstarhonorrol00indi#page/14/mode/2up. The names in the book appear in alphabetical order by Indiana counties only. I searched the book for a Leroy Rudolph and came up empty handed. This is what I am wondering: was Leroy a resident of Indiana at the time of his enlistment; are you certain that you have his name spelled correctly; is it possible that Leroy was a middle name or spell Lee Roy as opposed to LeRoy. My quick (30-minute) search for a Henry Rudolph with a spouse Josephine or Margaret in Indiana or Ohio revealed nothing as did a search for a Leroy Rudolph who might have died during WWI. In answer to your questions about this list--It was specifically designed for south central Indiana as defined by the Indiana Genealogical Society. However, as long as information pertains to any genealogy in any county in south central Indiana, I'm glad to have YOU share it here. On the other hand, time restricts ME to those counties that are narrowly defined. Unfortunately, I am not aware of a list for south east Indiana. You can, however, propose such a list in which case you will be expected to administer it. An alternative would be to subscribe to that list or those lists where your ancestor resided. If you don't know how to do this, please contact me privately and I will assist you. Many of the lists are only minimally active. A third suggestion is to state your query more robustly. For example, "I am searching for Leroy Rudolph, who was born about (birthdate) in (birthplace), to (first name of father) and (first name of mother) Rudolph. I believe he was living in (place of residence) when he enlisted in World War I. According to his father's obituary, Leroy died in France during the war. Leroy's father is my great grandfather. Any information would be most appreciated." In the absence of other information, I would also encourage you to include your grandfather's obit verbatim along with the source on multiple lists where you feel it might be most relevant. Your e-mail will be saved to the lists indefintely and can be found in a search of the list archives by in a very specific google search.
