Hi: I am requesting a look up of the death cert/record/Obituary for Frances D Matthews Dodds. B 24 Apr 1833 - D 7 May 1917, Wise Co Texas, buried in Paradise Cemetery with husband Calvin A. Dodds. Son Calvin N. Dodds, Dau. Frances Dodds (married?) I am trying to find any reference to her parents names and her place of birth. She is a sister to my direct ancestor and the identity of their father and birth location is in question - Which Matthews? Their mother's name was Nancy King. Your assistance is much appreciated.
