I am searching for the death date of my gr-gr-uncle, TILDEN MAGERS, who was last living in Sioux City, Iowa, in the city directory dated 1947. He was deceased by 1954 when he was named as a deceased brother in the obit of William Magers of Perry, Iowa. I sent for a copy of his death record from the Department of Vital Records in Iowa, but it was returned to me today. It reads: "Your application for a copy of a Vital Record is being returned because (1) the records has to be 75 years old before a niece, nephew or first cousin can get a death or marriage certificate for genealogy information; (2) the record has to be 100 year old before a niece, nephew or first cousin can get a birth certificate for genealogy information; (3) You hold entitlement to the record of the relative that you share a direct blood linage." Yes, I typed it exactly as they did, with the spelling errors. I specifically told them in my letter and on the request form that I did not need a certified copy as this was for genealogy purposes. Any help you can provide me is appreciated. Tilden Magers was never married and died childless and single. I am assuming that he was buried somewhere in Sioux City. He was born August 14, 1876, in Warren County, Illinois. He was last living in Sioux City and working as a "Houseman" at the Martin Hotel. He lived in Sioux City almost 15 years. Thanks.
