Thanks Bud, yes the Missouri death records are very helpful. It would be great if other States made the records available on-line. Since the Missouri death records go through 1957, and Kansas records are not on-line, I've been focusing on Missouri obits starting with 1958, Kansas City people who died outside of Missouri, and KCK obits for all years. Hopefully, these postings will be helpful. Occasionally I will hear from a family member thanking me for a posting.

Finding a war time death and finding those between 1956 and 1970. Also how does one get Kansas to join in free vital records. I have added so much flesh on the family bones thru Missouri death records Bud. -----Original Message----- From: mojackso-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:mojackso-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of John O'Brien Sent: Tuesday, January 19, 2010 1:24 PM To: kansascity@rootsweb.com; MoJackson Subject: [MOJACKSO] Eddie Franklin SHUSTER d. 15 May 1944 - Kansas City, KS Death of: Eddie Franklin SHUSTER Date: Monday, May 15, 1944 Place: at home Cause: heart disease Age: 4 years old Residence: 1226 Hasbrook Ave., Kansas City, KS Survivors: Parents - Mr. & Mrs. Charles SHUSTER, of the home Brother - Charles James SHUSTER, of the home Brother - George Edward SHUSTER, of the home Sister - Frances Louise SHUSTER, of the home Maternal grandfather - Jess KITCHEN, Kansas City, MO Paternal grandfather - Fred SHUSTER, Ronan, MT Services: 2 o'clock, Wednesday, Daniels Chapel, 644 Kansas Ave., Kansas City, KS Funeral - - Reference: "The Kansas City Star" (Missouri) Tuesday, May 16, 1944
