Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/EZB.2ACE/677.1 Message Board Post: 7-12-2002 Do you know whether or not Fred Hess's death info appears on the Social Security Death Index? I don't have a digital camera, but would you be willing to pay a small fee ($25 - $50) to pay a local photographer to visit the cemetery to do this? Send an e-mail message to Melanie Lawrence at [email protected]; she has also done research on Fred's family, and she shows him being born on May 8, 1880 and dying on Feb. 8, 1974. I was wondering if this might possibly be the same person you were looking for, or if you are absolutely certain about your Fred Hess being born on Oct. 15, 1888. I'll try to find the obit and send it to you next week. [email protected]
