No source noted, penciled date of April 19, 1924, from an unidentified scrapbook of clippings titled COLLECTION OF LOCAL MONROE COUNTY OBITS donated to the Monroe County History Center, Bloomington, Indiana. NOTE: I believe Mrs. W. D. Ward is one and the same as Laura M. Ward who died on an unspecified date in 1924, according to the Rose Hill Cemetery Index, and was buried next to William D. Ward who died in 1928. MRS. W. D. WARD DEAD, AGE 70 After an illness of 18 months, Mrs. W. D.
