Lived in Washington state, Wyoming,Nebraska > (born in) Ok, if you're going to get results in genealogy, you MUST provide details. Include the full name in the message area. Include dates, birthdate, marriage dates. Where was she born? That could help to identify her. Why do you think the death was after 1905? Was it before 1995? Give a possible circa date, ie "death was circa 1905-1910". Was she still married at death? Was she possibly living with siblings or children? Who were her children and where were they? If I find an obit for Anna Goldsmith and it just says died at the home of her daughter Amy Jones, this might be it, or we find out that she didn't have a daughter, or a son married to an Amy. In order to get an obit, you first have to find out where she lived. The 1900 census has 67 Anna Goldsmith, 374 Anna Mason, and 82 Anna Chamberlain. Of the Goldsmith's, one was in Nebraska, born about 1853 in Canada. Another, living in Nebraska, born 1872, in Iowa, was living in Omaha Nebraska. Husband's name began with N, (hard to read), daughter Ruth F. Born-appears to be May 1900. One of these, or one of the other 65 could be her; but I don't have enough information to look. Provide more info and a search can become more detailed. Ron Bestrom
