Hello Jim, I found your John SHEETZ on a site titled HISTORY OF RIGGTOWN (Google it). Look for Death Records and under the letter "S". Students from West Chester University compiled all the deaths from three volumes (1893-1907) and arranged them in alpha order by last name. I often go to Phoenixville Historical Society and will look for an obit on my next trip. If I find one, I'll take a digital image and forward it to you.
