Ruth Thank you for doing that - I sent for the death cert 2 or 3 different time, and they didn't have one on file for him. I checked for Wallis and a couple other spellings, but none was found. Would it be listed in the county records? Seems to me like I checked with them too, but it has been a long time. Must have been mis-filed at the time it happened. I have these two postings from the newspaper, but never found an obit: Potosi Journal: Potosi, MO-Wednesday, April 11, 1917: "Irondale: - Mr. Andrew Wallace, a veteran of the Civil War, died Friday morning at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Lee Province, of the place. He was ninety years of age. "Weekly Independent" Potosi, MO - Thursday, April 12, 1917: W. Wallace died at the home of his daughter Mrs. Lee Province Friday last, after suffering from burns which he received several weeks ago, when his house burned. He was laid to rest in the Big River Cemetery. Thanks again, Marlene ________________________________ From: Ruth Carver <sisterruthie@hughes.net> To: mostfran@rootsweb.com Sent: Thu, August 26, 2010 4:43:19 PM Subject: Re: [MOSTFRAN] Andrew Jackson Wallace and wife Frances Caroline WilsonWallace Have you found Andrew's death certificate for 1917. I have searched the file and could not locate it. I am wondering if perhaps there was a misspelling of the name, although I searched for the date and did not seem to find it that way either.
