His parents came from Ohio to Greencastle, Indiana. He attended school there. He went west alone. I'm assuming he left family behind, parents and siblings. If those descendants remain in Indiana, it may give researchers a lead to other parts of the family.

You did the right thing posting the obituary. You could also put it on the county GenWeb page. I don't know what the lady's gripe was.
