Thanks again to everyone for the information they provided. I'm still trying to sort it all out. To further muddy the waters, I found another Frances Cowles obituary listing. This one was from Dec. 29, 1986. I found this on the Cleveland Library site. Unfortunately, it's just a listing of what page it's one. So, if anyone knows where to find the Plain Dealer, Dec. 29, 1986, Section B, page 6, I'd sure be interested! I'm trying to find out if this Frances J. Cowles is the daughter of John A. Ferguson of Pittsburgh, PA, as was listed in his death notice. I know her name was Frances JANE, and she was born Aug. 1911.
