Sue,
I didn't find anything under "Ralph Fishel", but did find this short obit on
a "Ralph A. Knight". Unfortunately in Arizona, the person has to be dead 50
years before they will release the death cert, unless you can prove lineage with birth
certs.
****************************
Saturday September 24, 2005
A burial service for the cremains of Ralph A. Knight will be at 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct.
1, 2005, in Mount Olive Fairview Cemetery.
Knight, Fountain Hills, Ariz., died Nov. 30, 2004. He was a 1939 graduate of
Martinsville High School. His wife, Frances (Lewis) Knight, whom he married Nov. 15, 1942,
survives.
********************************************************
As for this obit, his wife was still living in 2005, and she doesn't appear on the
SSDI, so she could possibly be a source for information, if you think this
"Ralph" is the same as the "Ralph" in the 1930 census.
Their marriage cert could also be another source for info, possibly in Morgan Co. There
is a Frances M. Lewis, age 8, in the 1930 Jefferson Twp., Morgan Co., IN census with her
parents Everett E. & Flo E. Lewis and a brother Charles E. Lewis, which could be the
same Frances that married Ralph.
An
Ancestry.com family tree has both Amy and Ralph listed as children of Frank &
Farabee Knight. So this "Ralph Knight" might just be the one you are looking
for.
US Public Records Index does list a Frances M. Knight in Fountain Hills, AZ. The address
and phone number matches the listing for Ralph Knight also. (15129 East Palamino Blvd.,
Fountain Hills, AZ 85268; 480-837-1902)
Zabasearch.com dates this information at July 1,
2005.
Hope this helps...............Karen
