My gr. grandfather was John Thomas married to Barbara Stein. Both immigrants from Bayern, Germany. I have his death certificate and the coroner's investigation paper. Would just like to know if an obit. is still a possibility. It would be interesting as a neighbor shot him in a cattle dispute and he fell head first into the spring on the Thomas farm and died. Any ideas would be appreciated. Patricia Thomas Grimm
