    3. Ruby, I took the liberty of looking online for the Webb City Library. Here is a link to it. http://www.webbcitylibrary.com/ You will find the help you need from the genealogy section of the website.

Since you know where she died and you know her name and date, research Webb City. They will likely have a website for their community listing the name of their town attractions, municipal buildings etc. Most communities do have their own website. You should be able to locate the name of the Newspaper for that community. An even better way will be to call information and ask them for the phone number for the Webb City Library. (Assuming Webb City has a library.) You should be able to get information from them regarding the name of the local newspaper and whether they have them on microfilm. Once you are armed with that information, contact your local library and ask them if they can get you the newspaper editions for the date of her death and the 2 or 3 days following her death that are on microfilm for interlibrary loan use. Most libraries will do this service for you. They may charge you a small few but will be worth it. It will give you the opportunity to research the newspapers for yourself and the thrill of discovery as well. Additionally, when you make your phone calls, try to locate the number for the sexton of the Carterville Cemetery. He/She will be able to give you the exact location and information of the grave if they have it in record and possibly even a map of the cemetery depending on whether they have one available. Hope you will find this to be of help for your search.

According to her death certificate she died the 4th of August 1917 and although died in Webb City, was removed to Carterville Cemetery and buried on August 8th. Would like to know who she was married to - obituary would be great! She is sister to my great grandfather and I would like to know who her children were. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
