    3. Hi, Dan, I am the list owner of the KYROWAN list. I'm forwarding your message to the list, but you should subscribe to the list so that you will see any replies. (Send an email to KYROWAN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'subscribe' in the subject and body of the message.) Where did you get the death date of Feb 28, 1920 from? What county did the marriage take place in? Morgan? According to Ollie's death certificate, he died on 19 April 1922. I have a photocopy of the death certificate, but I do not have an obituary for him nor any news article about the accident. I live in Santa Cruz, California, so I can't easily look up information in Kentucky either. Here is my web page for that family: http://tpettit.best.vwh.net/family/pettit/FG04/FG04_037.htm (I also have birthdates for all of their children in my database, but I don't put birthdates of people who may still be alive online out of respect for their privacy.) What is your relationship to the family? I have no known relationship to them, but I keep track of all the Petitt/Pettit families in east Kentucky just in case they turn out to be related to me. ________________________________________ From: kyrowan-bounces@rootsweb.com [kyrowan-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of D.A.Little [dal41564@cox.net] Sent: Tuesday, February 17, 2009 8:48 AM To: KYROWAN@rootsweb.com Subject: [KYROWAN] Quarry Accident Greetings... I am researching the PETITT family of Bluestone, in Rowan Cty, KY. Ollie Petitt married Elizabeth Elam on April 17, 1915. On February 28, 1920, Ollie was killed in an accident at the stone quarry; he was crushed under the weight of a large block of sawed stone. He died instantly. I am looking for a news article or obituary that describes the accident, as I am far removed from the location. I appreciate your time.
