According to the Ohio Deaths Index Emma Jean Zych born 6 Feb 1927 in Lorain, Lorain Co. Ohio died at home on 3 Jun 2001 in Lorain, Lorain Co. Ohio. It notes that she was a widow at the time of her death and that her father's surname was Allison and her mother's maiden name was Pfeiffer. The Ancestry newspaper archive for some reason does not have the Chronicle newspapers after 1992 - 2001 available anymore.

I have that info. I was hoping for some info from the obit which could get us in touch with some family members we have never met. Any help would be appreciated. I am going to keep checking the newspapers at ancestry.com, but that link always seems to be down! -----Original Message----- From: epippert001@houston.rr.com To: ohlorain@rootsweb.com Sent: Sat, 17 Mar 2007 10:00 PM Subject: Re: [OHLORAIN] need and obit ZYCH 2001 According to the Ohio Deaths Index Emma Jean Zych born 6 Feb 1927 in Lorain, Lorain Co.

Elvin, According to Lorain Co. Probate Indexes, there was an Emma Jean Allison married to William H. Smith, Jr. (License # ML44-120). Could this have been a first marriage? Emma Jean Zych was the fiduciary for Carl Zych ( Old Case # ES74800). Carl Zych (according to Ancestry's Index - I don't have a subscription) died in 1986, Lorain, Ohio; he was born in Ohio. Carl was the son of George and Varcine (or Varoine/Valentine?) Zych. They were mistakenly indexed under the surname LYCH. He had siblings Walter, Alice, Nellie, and Thedore. His mother was born in Russia, his father in Austria. They lived at 3180 Elyria Ave., Lorain in 1920. There's a Detroit Border Crossing for a George Zych, which might be yours, but it says that he was born in Russia. Still might be the one. There was an Oliver B. Allison living in Lorain in 1920, along with wife Lena, and children Catherine, Robert and Leroy. Hope that you find something on your family.

Hi, Cheryl, I've been trying to locate some information about my ancestor Archibald Mattison/Matteson who supposedly died while living with his wife Lovice (Louisa) and daughter Julia on the farm of their son Aaron Mattison in Brownhelm, Lorain Co., Ohio. I keep finding the date "June 30, 1864" online for his death date, but no one has said where that date came from. There is no obituary, and the only things that might fit in with that date, are the fact that son Aaron sold his Brownhelm farmland within the next couple of years, moving his own family to Eaton County, Michigan. In 1870, Lovice and daughter Julia appeared in Medina Twp, Medina Co., Ohio, living with the family of another son, also named Archibald. Lovice died in 1872 and the brief obit in the Medina newspaper (I assume) merely tells that she had been living with her son Archibald's family, and giving her precise age. There is no mention of her burial. Getting to the subject of my letter (based on your mention of "old case" replying to a recent Zych query), I have a question. On the Lorain Co. Probate website I find: Decedent: MATTISON, A L Judge: OLD CASE HISTORY Case Number: ES5678 Action Code: HISTORY OF CASE Docket: View Full Docket ======================================= There is no docket information available for this case. ============================================================= Since it says there is no docket information available for Old Case Number ES5678 for Mattison A L , does that mean that there are no records at all? I don't know what the second initial (?) L stands for as I never knew of Archibald having a middle name, but the lack of periods after the intials made me wonder if it stands for both Archibald and his wife Lovice. I don't see any way to contact the Probate Dept. by email. How do you suggest I proceed? Thanks for any help you can provide. Ann in Iowa
