PLEASE!!!!!!! Looking through that big book of death records is really something. We did it in June as I needed a death certificate for Edward P. Stone for documention for membership into the UDC. The employees are so helpful and it was quite an experience. I wish there were death certificates for 1899 as my greatgrandfather, Archie Stone, who was originally from Red River County, died in Itasca along with his little daughter who was only eight years old. The family story is that they died from eating poisoned apples. Well, there are no apple orchards in Itasca, TX and for sure not in February. He was a Cumberland Presbyterian minister, and the church in Itasca did send me session minutes that just said they became "suddenly ill" and passed away. I would give anything to know how this happened. Edith Duncanville, TX ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour
