----- Original Message ----- From: "Michele Pfau" <berrycute3@msn.com> > Need a look up for a obituarary Please! > Rose Marie Dotson Rutledge b. 6/3/1914 in Morton, WA (info from delayed birth certificate) > d. 12/03/1997 Puyallup, WA > married 2/25/1950 Vancouver, WA > spouse Harvey Allen Rutledge > I checked the online obit records for Tacoma Tribune, the online obit records for the Tacoma Tribune that the Pierce County Library had put into a database...with no results. I checked the Social Security Death Index and found the information as noted...however, this does not mean she lived in Puyallup, she may only have lived here; or, the last Social Security Death payment may have gone to a family member here and she did not live here. I searched for a Harvey and found one born Feb 27, 1915, died Aug 1982, last residence in Olympia, WA. I checked Thurton, Pierce, King, Kitsap County online recorder office records and found no Rose Rutledge. However, if this was the correct Harvey in 1982; and Rose, then living in a home or with family up to 1997, there may not be any recorded documents in her name. Since there were no obits listed for Pierce county, I suspect either she didn't live here, or there were no family members here to place an obit; or, there were family members here-that claimed last death benefit but they didn't place an obit.
