    1. Re: [NCGUILFO] Obituary needed from "Greensboro News and Record" 1965
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: ElizHarris Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.northcarolina.counties.guilford/4348.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: The nearest major medical center to Guilford County is Bowman Gray medical school in Winston-Salem (Forsyth County). There are other medical schools at UNC in Chapel Hill and at Duke University in Durham, only about an hour's drive from Greensboro. These three would be the most likely hospitals for someone living in Greensboro and needing more specialized treatment than the local hospitals would provide. I happen to have the Forsyth Co. death index, and she's not listed there, nor could I find her on the statewide NC death index on Ancestry.com, so maybe she died somewhere else. (In my experience however searches on that particular index at Ancestry are sometimes faulty, so this doesn't completely rule out the possibility that she died in NC.) If I remember correctly, in 1965 the Greensboro Daily News and Greensboro Record were still separate papers (morning and afternoon respectively) but obits were often published in both. I'm sorry, I don't have access to the newspapers or city directories so can't do the lookup for you. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
