Marjorie, Great information! Mike and I are planning our anniversary trip to that area to see Carrie's grave and to do a bit of research, so your information will be invaluable. We'll be sure to come on week days. Thank you again.

Once in a while we hit "paydirt" in the most unexpected places! Bob Richmond, an older black man that was musically inclined and has lived around here for umpteen years, might know something, but I'm sorry to say, he has good days and bad days ....suffering from alzheimers. That would have been my very first phone call -- a few years ago, as I know he kept track of a lot of the old time musicians. The other thing that might give some ideas would be the old Syracuse newspapers. We have those on microfilm, but no one to index them :>( .... Also, you might want to try the Syracuse Library. There's a museum up there too ... Phone number 574-457-3022 (Library) 574-457-3599 (Museum). I suppose they both have e-mail address; but I don't know them. ----- Original Message ----- From: "unicorn1945" <unicorn1945@sbcglobal.net> To: <INKOSCIU-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, July 20, 2003 2:48 PM Subject: Re: [INKOSCIU] help, please > Marjorie, > You're a peach. Yes, I already have that much...and that's it. I wish I could find out more about where she worked, lived and the dates she lived there. Also on Ross and what he did, when he died, where he's buried, etc.. And Paul...and when he was there. I know he had an apartment in NYC but believe his home base was in K county where his mom was. > Thank you, > Shirley > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Marjorie Priser > To: unicorn1945 > Sent: Sunday, July 20, 2003 2:32 PM > Subject: Re: [INKOSCIU] help, please > > > Index to deaths - 1921-1940 ... > Dickerson, Carrie Margaret, Female, White, 67 yrs old.
