Surnames: Battles Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.ohio.counties.allen/1635.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Narrowing George Battles death date down would help. Found a listing for him in Hancock Co. Ohio death records that says he died on 27 April 1920. This should help when the person does the obit search. You will be able to send for his death certificate as well. Good luck.
