Robert or Carol , I was in McArthur at the Court House today and found the following. I didn't have much time and some of these names I could not find as of yet. However perhaps these will help. I also stopped at the Library and abstracted some OBITS for you. I found several obits for Frazee but none for Decker. However, that doesn't mean that there isn't some kind of info there. The lady that runs the genealogy department is very knowledgeable and if you write her she can probably be of help. If you need additional help, let me know and I will see what I can do the next time I am in Vinton Co. You should contact Roselle Winters at the Herbert Wescoat Library St. Rt. 93, McArthur, Ohio 45651. Toll Free 1-866-821-0446.

I'm sorry I couldn't do more, but let me know and I'll try later. I go to Vinton Co. every two or three months, sometimes sooner. Roselle also has listings from some of the funeral homes in McArthur. W.W. Tinker and James Blower homes no longer exist or belong to other people now. Roselle can help.
