Just plot owners. The reading you found her in was done by a volunteer and the Village Hall has a copy of this reading but that is the extent of their info too. It was required by law to file death records in Oct 1907 so it should have been filed. Although I have found some people in my research where their records were not ever filed after the law. The only other option is that she did died somewhere else and her body was brought back here to be buried next to her husband. Have you checked the 1910 Census to see if she lived elsewhere with a surviving child or other relative? The Winnebagoland Genealogical Society is currently working on indexing obituaries. They are currently working on 1915 - 1919. When this time frame is done they will be working on 1910 - 1914. Maybe by years end this will be complete? Without a date it would take too long to try and search for it. Obits were placed wherever they felt like putting them back then. And you could search 365 days of newspapers and find nothing. Did you contact Winneconne Public Library? Winneconne does have a weekly newspaper and they may have it indexed to some extent. Or it is only 52 weeks to search rather than 365 days. Obits from Winneconne didn't always make it to the Oshkosh papers either.
