Given I cant find a death record for John that matches the notation the only next logical step I can think of would be an obituary.Interesting that you mentioned forest county as Myrtle and John were married there in 1902.I would be pleased if you could tell me where John is buried so I might discover a birth date,Myrtle is at the Elcho cemetery listed as Myrtle Vanduzer which was her second husbands last name so Ijust assumed John might be there as well. Thank you for any help you can offer. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
