You can search for death certificate info on William Blakley at: http://www.ohiohistory.org/dindex/ He died in Hancock County, 8/22/1925. You can get a copy of the death certificate for $1.00 from the Historical Society, but it takes a while. The on-line Index for the death certficiates only goes to 1937. You can get the Historical Society to search the 1939 records for $5.00, but again it will take a while. If you are close enough to Columbus it's worth the trip to look through the records yourself.
