Dear researchers, I would like to submit the following info in the hopes that someone will recognize a name or location and contact me with any information/resources/family stories etc. I have been waiting a year and a half for my pre-paid, requested court or criminal info from the state archives. I strongly suspect that Sam BOLING is my great grandfather; and he probably was buried near Glenmora in an unmarked grave. Thank you for any help, Sharon ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ LA State Board of Health Registered # 12653 File # 15 or 95 Registration District # 4030 (X) Rapides Parish – Calcasieu Twp/Ward SAM BOLING male/ white/ age: 48 / place of birth: North Carolina occupation: woodsrider DOD: Dec 24, 1916 from gunshot wound (170?)
