They were not something that was required by law to be filed anywhere in particular. We could look the death up in the local papers from that time but there is a possibility the paper would just say he was hit by a train. If you want a look up let us know. It could take sometime since the microfilm is at the library and it depends on how the day goes if anyone can get away to go there.
