Sorry but I go to bed very early. My PC is in TV room and just can't stand anymore Politics.{husband} watches it all. Thank you all for your reply. RE: VA I had someone look up (paid) for Cabell Cty the obit for Max (found on SSDI) and they sent me (postal mail) the paper death obit. It mentioned he died in a VA Hospital. I googled VA hosptial in Huntington WVA and got their address (also had to fill out form on line and sign and print and sent together with a letter) ie; "....Max was my Uncle and I am looking for his daug. Could you supply me with any information on his records.... Abt week later rec'd info from their records as he must have been in and out of hosp for several years. They did not have orig med records as they had been sent to Wash DC for storage in Aug 77.(they will hold them for 73 yrs from date of retirement then they will be distroyed). However, they did have (6) 'LOCATOR CARDS' listing dates admitted from and other med info including last card of death (Oct 1974) . '. However, I don't understand if he died in Oct 1974 why they have the following listed on 2 cards only the info for 12-13-60 thru 8-22-69 . Max Newman South Point O Mrs. Charles Bartram, Daughter 2-29-96 (note 1996?) Address:3456 Woodville Drive, HTGN,WVA 525 7456 (is this a telephone no??) She was not mentioned in his obit or on any other cards. Also if you are looking for an obit ck out SSDI and get last place Soc Sec was paid. Example "Then go to google' put in "NEWSPAPER; Tampa, FL" you will get several papers. Ck them all. usually on right side of screen of 'Tampa News" you will find 'Obituaries". Note: some papers charge for info; some have listed if recent,; some have archives if within reasonable time frame. If you find 'deceased' that will give you a wealth of info.date of burial, cemetery, etc. Since we live in MS now and I do genealogy, and someone in husband's family dies, due to health I am unable to go (husband does) I found 'Daily Press' for Newport News,VA and in Menu I sent to 'desktop' and ck daily for friends. If family, I see obit (highlite just that one, copy and paste to email ...to myself) then print out obit and file. If you have questions and I can help please let me know I will try to help.
