The family had lived in Spokane for years and I'm hoping an obit was sent back to Spokane. Thanks.

Hello Waspokan listers . . . My only connection to Spokane is that my great grandfather, William Averill (or sometimes Averel) went there to live with his son Allan in 1925 after his wife (Marian Clow) died in Rhinelander Wisconsin, where they had been living for many years. William died in Spokane in 1935, probably in early October, aged 89. He was born in Maine in September or earlier of 1846, the oldest of 5 children of Luther and Sarah Averill. The possibility of my visiting Spokane is pretty slim at present, so any help in finding a death record or obituary on William would be much appreciated. As well, any record on his son Allan Averill or Allan's wife, whose first name was Dell (possibly short for Delilah). Thanks for any help, leads, suggestions, whatever . . .
