    3. Hey folks, I am working on my Frederick Conrad Bode line http://www.gencircles.com/users/rodfleck/2/data/547 Now, one thought I have is to focus on where he was living and see if I can get an idea of what newspaper may have carried an obituary for his passage in Jan 1911. Where would Surgeon’s Hall have been in Baldwin Township in relationship to Pittsburgh today? Boy I hope that made sense. I have no address for his actual home, so that is making it difficult to do a mapquest search for that street location. Would that area have been covered by a particular newspaper?? There was no entry for the Pittsburgh Press for that period of January (13-16 Jan 1911). One interesting odd recollection – my great grandmother before she died once went on and on about a story about her “grandfather being stored in the ice house” because the ground was so cold when he died they couldn’t get the body buried…so he was stored in a closet like structure in the ice house. Looking over my materials – I notice that cemetery permit was issued a few days after his death. I wonder if this is the person she was remember hearing about as a small girl? Ok – any help would be appreciated. Rod Fleck
