Hi Everyone, I'm new to research in Washington Co., KS and I would greatly appreciate any help or advice anyone might have on how to locate a death date and/or record or an obit. for Francis L Pickerell (aka Frances L. Pickerel, Pickrell). She was alive on 13 Dec. 1906, age 69, in Washington, Wash. Co., KS. She was the widow of Eli C. Pickerell, who died May 5, 1900 in Washington, KS. It is possible that she was living with one of her children by a first marriage to Merrit Smith Sr. (aka Merit Smith). Her son George E. Smith appears to have been living in Washington, KS in 1906. Could someone please tell me: 1. Are there cemetery inscription books for Washington and/or Wash. Co. that someone could please check for my family: 2. Where do I write for death certificates? Hopefully, the court house will search a little bit. 3. Do any local newspaper still exist in which I might find her obit once I know a date? Thank you very, very much. richkurlich@hotmail.com _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
