I have gotten microfilms of newspapers at 7.00 a roll looking for an obit for Virgle Melling who died Sept. 10, 1904, he was 7 years old, and have found nothing. I am out of idea's since there were no death records filed in Jefferson City, at that time. He died in Ray County, and is buried in SunnySlope. Can anyone give me any idea's on what to order next? Thank you, Lena

Lena, I have checked the records of Sunny Slope Cemetery and Richmond Cemetery (they are side by side). The records show that Virgle MELLING and his father Ed MELLING are buried in Richmond Cemetery, not Sunny Slope Cemetery. There are a number of MELLINGs buried in Sunny Slope, but the Sunny Slope records do not have Virgle or Ed. Neither cemetery records a burial for Virgle's mother, Mollie MELLING. The tombstone in Richmond Cemetery confirms your death date of Sep 4, 1904 at age 7 yrs, 7 mo, 22 da. and provides the names of his mother and father. I have no idea about finding an obit or other death records if you checked the newspapers published soon after Sep 4, 1904.
