A very kind person in Allegany County has photocopied many pages from the Cresaptown UMC records and sent them to me. In those records there is a page of funerals with this information: 1916 Dec 20 Richard D. Avery 63 years Cresaptown MD date of death Dec. 18, 1916. My question de jour is: why can't I find that record in online archives? I've found other relatives on those little cards...but not this elusive great-uncle of mine. Anybody have any clues? BTW: I've tried looking up some of his aliases such as Nicholas Avery, Richard Dawson, R.N. Dawson, Richard Avery, but to no avail. Thanks for any help. Nora in balmy Florida

Maybe he didn't die in MD?
