Marie, I think I found the father of Addie Loop and if so, her mother too. I went to the MO archives online to look at death certificates. I searched for LOOP in Daviess Co. and the first one I clicked on after I got that funny "you should try this one" feeling is this; _http://www.sos.mo.gov/TIF2PDFConsumer/DispPDF.aspx?fTiff=/archives/DeptofHeal th/Death/1914/1914_00004312.TIF&Fln=1832152.pdf_ (http://www.sos.mo.gov/TIF2PDFConsumer/DispPDF.aspx?fTiff=/archives/DeptofHealth/Death/1914/1914_00004312.T IF&Fln=1832152.pdf) Mrs. Addie Mallory of Altamont, MO is the informant on the above death certificate which is for William Henry H. Loop. Doesn't prove she is his daughter; could be a niece but most likely a relative in any case. He's 85 years old and married. Later that year (1914) Emily Loop dies; the informant on her certificate is Scott Mallory of Altamont. Two other Loops are children of William and Emily; another Loop does not appear to be theirs. Winfield's death certificate is there too, if you don't have his death date. There's none for Addie Mallory and I had no luck finding her in Daviess Co. by doing a search just for Addie. Looks like she moved out of the state or remarried and died in some county other than Daviess. Looks like a starting place! Vanette In a message dated 1/5/2009 7:43:49 A.M.
