I checked my Adams and Wells Will books thru 1880, and no
Whitwright will was entered. The 1979 Adams County History states
that Adam (his brother?) b. 1856 did not die until 1929. You
might want to check his estate papers for any mention of Samuel.
My 1908 City Directory shows
Abe and Ida on 5th, with children Samuel and Abe.
Ed and Blanche on Elm, with no children or boarders.
No other Whittrights in the 1908 directory in other parts of the county.
The 1989 Supplement shows that the Mrs. Whitright's Grocery
on Adams and 7th Street was sold 2-21-1907. Maybe that
was a significant date if Samuel/and or spouse owned the store???
No much but someetimes little things help trigger....

Subject: [INADAMS] State Censuses and City Directories
Hello, Adams Co. rooters!
I'm trying to narrow down when my GGGrandfather Samuel W. WHITRIGHT died
in
the late 1800s or early 1900s. Were there city directories in
Decatur
that
I might research in to find him, from 1891 until 1900? And what
years
were
the IN state censuses performed?
