Did the family have to file a death certificate for Probate Court. i.e. will, estate settlement? That is a possibility. Is there a place of internment given? May be worth a search in Delaware for a death certificate.

The death certificate in question gives her place of death as Penn Tp. Okay, that's fine. But...it lists her place of residence as "On visit to Delaware". My first impression of this was that they had probably put the wrong information in the wrong spot. (ie. her place of res. was Penn Tp. & she died while on a visit to Del.) I can't find her buried in Highland, where she lived all of her adult life, and where her husband,children and their families are all buried, and where one would assume she would be buried if she indeed died in Highland County. But, on the other hand if she died in DEL. she wouldn't have a death certif. here would she?( Although I have seen birth records in Highland County where it has listed the place of birth as being in Indiana!) This I just do not understand. Could they have done this because the family was "living" in Highland! ! ! C! > o. and the mother went somewhere else to have the baby? And might they have done something similar in the case of this death certif.? I would like to hear from anyone out there who has any ideas about this, or has had a similar experience. The year of her death was 1877. > > Thanks in advance, > Lynn [email protected] > > ==== OHHIGHLA Mailing List ==== > > To access the archived messages, try either or both of these Web sites: > http://lists.rootsweb.com/~archiver/lists/ > http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl
