Is there an obituary for William Meredith who died in LeCompton, Kansas?

Lecompton is in Douglas County, so I checked the one volume of Douglas County family biographies I have (Vol.1) but didn't find any Merediths.   I looked in the Jefferson County marriage book and found about a pageful of Merediths, none of them with the first name William.  In the tombstone inscription book for Jefferson County it looks like about half a page of Merediths, at the bottom of which I find two:       MEREDITH, Will, d May 1888, UNKn          MEREDITH, Wm.  d Nov 1887, age 81 y  PLGR   PLGR stands for Plum Grove Cemetery.  UNKN is unknown.   I don't know where in Jefferson County Plum Grove Cemetery is.   The old cookbook I found is from about 1900 (calculated by the surnames of my kinfolk at the time they submitted recipes), and it has no index.   Happy hunting.   Jan T   In a message dated 11/22/2017 9:22:26 AM Central Standard Time, [email protected] writes:   Is there an obituary for William Meredith who died in LeCompton, Kansas? ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

The last time I visited Old Jefferson Town at Oskaloosa, there was a Genealogical society research office in one of the buildings, and I think perhaps they collected newspaper obituaries of folks with a local connection.   Are you familiar with the Jeffco Genealogy Society and the historical society, which have a very nice quarterly publication?   Jan   In a message dated 11/22/2017 9:22:26 AM Central Standard Time, [email protected] writes:   Is there an obituary for William Meredith who died in LeCompton, Kansas? ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Is this the William Meredith you're looking for? William Meredith was born 1 on 10 Oct 1807 in Abingdon, Washington, Virginia. He died 2 in May 1888. William married Nancy E Faubion on 27 Oct 1836 in Liberty, Clay, Missouri.

Do you have any idea what year he would have died? Or a birth year to narrow down the time frame? There is a William Meredith on Findagrave in Jefferson Co. in 1888--is he the one?
