That would make sense because I can't find a grave in Indiana. I will pick up the death certificate as soon as I can. I can't believe there would not be an obit. My great aunt thought he died in the summer of 1927 when she was a little girl. Thanks!!!

From the looks of things it would seem that they are likely to be related in some way. I only have access to the Indianapolis Star newspaper from 1908 to 1924 so William Damewood's funeral might possibly be mentioned in the 1943 paper, I don't know. Maybe someone else can answer your question as to whether there was a city directory for Indianapolis in 1943. I would be surprised if there wasn't. __________________________________________________________ THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR, June 20, 1912; pg. 9 The marriage of Miss Hazel Silvey and Leslie W. Brumit was solemnized last evening by the Rev. William C. Carson of the Sutherland Avenue Presbyterian Church at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Silvey, in Broad Ripple. The guests included the relatives and the intimate friends of the bride and bridegroom. The rooms were decorated with foliage and a profusion of daisies and dozens of green and white candles. Miss Dale Martz, a cousin of the bride, played Mendelssohn's "Wed- ding March" for the entrance of the bridal party. The attendants were Miss Grace Sheets, maid of honor; John Eubank, best man, and Elizabeth Ewing, ring bearer. Before the ceremony a pro- gram including the "Meditation," from "Thais," and "Believe Me If All Those Endearing Young Charms" was played. Miss Silvey wore a gown of white mar- quisette over messaine and carried white roses. Miss Sheets wore apple green crepe de chine draped with lace and carried white sweet peas and maidenhair ferns. An informal reception was held at the close of the ceremony. Among the guests were Mr. and Mrs. William Damewood of Chicago, Mr. and Mrs. I. N. Martz and daughter, Miss Dale, of Dan- ville; Mr. and Mrs. Monroe Ewing of Ridgefarm, Ill; Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Quick, Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Keiser and Mrs. Margaret Herrin and family of Noblesville. Mr. and Mrs. Brumit have taken possession of their new home, 220 West North street, and will be at home after July 10. _______________________________________________ - Ed

Hi, List, I am searching for the burial place of William Thomas Damewood, who was buried in Indianapolis in mid-July 1943. I am also trying to find out what happened to William's wife, Myrtle, after his death. William was born in 1874 in Parke County, Indiana, and grew up in Niantic, Illinois. He married Myrtle Thompson of Indianapolis 6 Feb 1898 in that city. The Damewoods lived at 1915 Ruckle Street in Indianapolis at the time of the 1900 census. They moved to Chicago by 1920, and remained there, where William worked as a paving contractor. William died suddenly in July 1943 in Niagara Falls, Canada. A funeral service was conducted in Chicago, and burial evidently took place shortly after that in Indianapolis, but we have no record of the cemetery. We have never been able to find out what Myrtle did after William's death; perhaps she moved back to Indianapolis. William and Myrtle had no children. Any assistance would be much appreciated. Judy Damewood
Carrying on the PIEL theme, here is another article. Sometimes the surnames are difficult to read so please forgive me if any of them are misspelt. ___________________________________________________ THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR, Thursday, June 5, 1913; pg. 15 The heirs of the late William F. Piel Sr., have adopted a plan to perpetuate the estate and yesterday filed articles of in- corporation with the secretary of state for the William F. Piel Sr. Estate cap- italized at $420,700. The company will take over all property of the estate which includes serveral business blocks and other real estate. The heirs inter- ested in the company include William F. and Charles F. Piel, Emilie Piel Melcher and Mary Piel Sudbrock, children of the late Mr. Piel and the following grand children: Laura P. Koelling, Gertrude P. Wysong and Lillie P. Schwier. _______________________________________________ - Ed
Here is another obituary..... _____________________________________________ THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR, Saturday, May 6, 1911; pg. 6 Mrs. Elizabeth M. Piel, wife of William F. Piel, president of the Piel Bros.' Starch Company, died last evening at the family residence, 3138 North Merid- ian street. Mrs. Piel had been ill with a complication of diseases since last Janu- ary. Mrs. Piel was born in Indianapolis and lived here practically all her life. She was a member of Trinity German Evan- gelical Lutheran Church, East and Ohio streets. The funeral will be held from that church, probably Tuesday. Mrs. Piel is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Charles A. Meyer of Brooklyn, N.Y., and Miss Edna Piel, and three sons, Alfred L., Elmer W. and W.W. Piel, all of this city. _______________________________________________ - Ed
