Rowena, here is what I found from the book titled "Scioto County Ohio Newspaper Index: Deaths and Marriages, 1818 to 1865" by Barbara Keyser Garguilo: Sarah Wilson died February 28, 1854 age 18. Death Notice date published on March 7th, 1854 in Portsmouth Daily Dispatch (Note: from Sexton's report. A Sexton's report usually was an employee of the church or municipal cemetery. Also note: Obits were not very common during the early to mid-1800's. It was costly to submit one). No Edwin listed. I am told that the Ohio Historical Society in Columbus has copies of these notices. Phyllis > need help in locating the obits of Wilson, >Edwin and his mother Sarah, both died @ 1850-1855 in >Scioto Co >
