Sorry to bother you on this fine summer day. However, I am trying to find out where a grand aunt was buried. She lived in Marion for the last 6 or so years of her life at 102 N, Roosevelt. Do you have online access for death records or obituaries for 1956? The reason I ask about online is that I live in California and am 84 myself, so I can’t just pop in to your office.
Background: Her name was Susanna Maud Montgomery. She went by Maud. She would have been about 77-79. Her husband was William Montgomery. I haven’t found him either. The last Marion City Census that comes up with both of them is 1956 and the last for him is 1958 when he is 85 and alone. The research sites come up with all sorts of offerings, but with the wrong dates, names, even wrong States. I really would like to know the end of her story, of their story really. I would deeply appreciate any suggestions or assistance you can provide. Wishing you a pleasant summer.
