I have been to Marion and taken pictures of the headstone for Annie (nee Owens b.Oct. 12, 1862) Baker who died May 2, 1928. In 1998 I sent a request to the archives in Baton Rouge for a copy of her death certificate and received back that it couldn't be found. In May of this year, I was in La. and went by the archives and looked at the film myself and couldn't find one either. If anyone on this list could tell me if there may be a parish death certificate and who to write for it, I would appreciate it. And maybe someone who lives there could look at a newspaper for that time and see if there is an obituary for her or her sister, Jane (Jamima Jane nee Owens b. Oct. 11. 1859), died July 12, 1928 and is buried next to Annie. Because they died so close together and Annie was visiting her sister at the time from MS, I have wondered if there was some kind of epidemic during that time. Thank you for any help you can give with this "brick wall". Ruth Taylor
