    1. [KANSASCITY] Dubois Family/Cujrran and Little sisters of the Poor
    2. l. s.
    3. Hello, I just recently found the death record for a Julia Curran who died May 10, 1919 in Kansas City. It said she was a servant. The Informant was "Little Sisters of the Poor". I am thinking this may be the answer to my brick wall. Would anyone be able to help me find out if this institution is still in business and if they kept records from that far back. Would they be open to sharing whatever they may have on this lady? Was this what was called a "Poorhouse"? Would it be likely that there might be an obituary? Does anyone know anyone who might do a lookup if there would be one? Franklin Asbury Dubois and his wife Sara Mickey Dubois also lived in Kansas City at one time. He died June 21, 1919 and was buried at Elmwood cemetery. I am interested in their relationship to Julia. One census says she was an aunt, but because they were the same age, I think they may have been cousins. I would appreciate any help or suggestions on finding out what I can about Julia. Thank you, Leemae
