I would love some suggestions on how to go about getting a copy of the coroner report for his death. His death in my family has always brought about some questions. What I do know: William Sherman Short died on July 30, 1904 in Narka, Kansas. They think he was killed by a train that went thru there about midnight. The body was brought to F.A. Guy's Furniture store and the Cornoner Ekbald of Scandia. There was an inquest at 1pm that day for them to decide on what really happened and came to the conclusion that he was killed by an east bound train. Funeral service was held at M.E. Church and he is buried somewhere in Maple Grove Cemetery. Any help or if someone could look for me and make a copy for me... would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
