I am trying to locate one for Carrie B. SAUNDERS (nee: FRYE), who died in Newport, KY in 1917. I don't have an exact date, but the year should be correct. I obtained it from a letter her daughter wrote in 1930. Carrie was my gggf's (Oliver SAUNDERS) second wife. Tragically, he died in 1910, leaving two small children. Mildreth Olivia SAUNDERS was just in diapers. Her brother, Gifford Frye SAUNDERS, was only a year or so older. Then, they were orphaned when their mother died. Although the children were born in Fleming Co., KY, apparently, their mother moved them to Newport after their father's death--perhaps to get closer to a support system. Somehow, she too died, and the children were moved through a succession of unscrupulous foster homes. The caretakers were just trying to get their hands on the children's father's Civil War pension money. (Their father, Oliver, had been a member of the USCT.) Though I have scant information on what happened to Mildreth, who eventually became known as "Mildred," I do not have a clue as to the eventual whereabouts of Gifford. Both had been sent away to school (Mildred to St. Francis DeSales Institute; and Gifford to St. Emma's College, in Rock Castle, VA). Mildred reappears in Arizona the 1960's, after an older half-brother died. She eventually married and obtained the surname, "HARVEY." She then died in the late '80's in Cincinnati. I am hoping that there might be a clue in Carrie's obituary as to where she is buried, and what other family members may exist on her side of the family. Needless to say, I would be thrilled if anyone could offer assistance.
