Would SKS please check for an obit or death notice for this woman?>>> DEATH NY County NY Eva/Evangeline THOMPSON* Death Date: 4 May 1910, age 55, died at St. Vincent's Hospital in Manhattan Her Canadian BC given name is Marie Clothilde Evangeline, but she was always called Eva and the DC says Eva. Raised Catholic. I have the DC but, no cemetery or burial date or undertaker is noted, then phoned several cemeteries without luck. The certificate format is too early for "Informant" slot. Never saw a DC so incomplete before. An OBIT would really help. Thanks, Barb. [email protected]
Barb, I checked genealogybank.com and there was no listing for her in the NY area (I used both names). It is very odd that the cemetery was not listed and that the undertaker wasn't even listed. Two ideas: It could be that her body was sent back to Canada so you might want to check "bodies in transit". I know that LDS has a film that has a listing be I don't know if it goes to 1910. I guess then you would need to hunt down the listings after that date. Also, If her family was still in Canada her obit might have been listed there. Where I work there are lots of individuals who die elsewhere and lived many years away from the local city but when they die, the obit is listed in the town they grew up in and in the local paper. Good luck, keep us updated ----- Original Message ----- From: "mizscarlettny via" <[email protected]> To: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Sent: Monday, January 25, 2016 1:15:04 PM Subject: [NYNEWYOR] DEATH W/O BURIAL Would SKS please check for an obit or death notice for this woman?>>> DEATH NY County NY Eva/Evangeline THOMPSON* Death Date: 4 May 1910, age 55, died at St. Vincent's Hospital in Manhattan Her Canadian BC given name is Marie Clothilde Evangeline, but she was always called Eva and the DC says Eva.
