My G grandfather Henry Smith died Nov 1913 with 3 other family members. They are all buried in the same plot in Phila. Henry was b in Germany, he lived all his life in Phila. Phila has no record of his death or any of the others. Nj has no record of the deaths. There are no obits. They were poor, so I think travel is out of the question, can any one tell me where to go from here? Thank you Lorri Phillylorri@earthlink.net Lorri-GEIGER-GERRAN-MUNTZ S. Phila

I am need of an obituary for an Alvin Austin who passed away in 1883 in Chester County PA. Thank you

I need the obituary for Jonathan Williams, born 1844 and died 10/29/1902 in Danville, Montour County, PA. His place of residence prior was known to be White Haven, PA. I do not know his place of burial, only that this may have been some type of hospital where veterans of the Civil War would have sought treatment. Any help would be greatly appreciated and I will gladly pay for all copy costs and mailing. In addition, I am trying to locate the obituary of his wife Lydia Heckman Williams who died 9/8/1947 in White Haven, PA. Thanks very much and a Happy Thanksgiving!

Would any of your Steubgen's from Steubenville, OH, which is in Eastern OH, south of Youngstown, in Jefferson County? I have never seen this name spelled with an extra "G" in it. Very interesting! Just wanted to add my two cents in here! I'm from Eastern OH, except from Columbiana which is the largest county in Eastern OH!

Hi , I am trying to find an obit or anyone that knows of this Simon Detrick. I believe he may have worked for a refinery in the 1920's as he left Lima, O refinery to move to Pa. I will appreciate any and all help. Does Pa. have an on-line vital page? Thank you, Gary

Hello List, I have an update on my request for an obituary lookup. I have since found out that the date of May 14, 1913 was not his date of death, but date of his reburial. Lewis E. Jones' correct information is Born 1852 - Died 1895. Does anyone have access to a 1895 Newspaper in Scranton or Wyoming, PA? He may be included in both. Thank you again for any help. Carolyn

Yes, I got a similar message. Haven't tried to respond.
