You asked for it - you got it! The Obituaries are now in an alphabetical listing!


Access via the TABLE OF CONTENTS page > Obits or from the “What’s New?” page of
newest entries - click on the heading
OBITS. Enjoy. . . . . (all kudos accepted) ;>)

Questions - I have a link to the obit for Mrs. Wm. Rowe (could not find contact for permission to reprint). It does not give a death date, nor her given or maiden name. Does anyone know it? Also need first name of Mrs. Henry Curran. Thank you.


Mrs. Wm. Rowe




Mrs. H. Curran (nee Raynor)

Denise,

I used the roots web URL and printed the obit for Mrs. William Rowe. I then went to the index for Tampico Cemetery.

Rowe, Elmna J.; Sweet
b. 1-16-1844 d. 4-15-19 age 75y.

Good grief, Jack - are you for hire????? Thanks for saving me some work there. The obit index about did me in. But it was something that I had been meaning to do and it will certainly help as I put together the Tampico Cemetery Book with headstones & obits, etc.

Again, THANKS!
