I found my great-grandfather listed on the Rootsweb Cass co. site under:
Galveston Area Deaths 1932 & 1933
Phillips, Frank 84 d. 25 Dec 1932, Walton, Cass, IN
I sent for his death cert. but the IN State Dept of Health couldn't find a record of
his death.
They even called Cass Co. to check with them. So, my question is, since his death was
in the 'Galveston area,' he might have actually died in nearby Howard or Miami
co., but
wouldn't the record still be listed with the State Dept. of Health under his name
& death
date? Would the State Health Dept. find no record because it was reported by another
county?
The death date is the same on his tombstone. I haven't been able to find any reference
to his death in the Logansport newspapers.
What do I do now?

Paula,
His death is listed under Franklin Phillips in the Cass County Death record
index.
Board of Health clerks seem to be really particular about exact names, but
that is ridiculous that they didn't help you.
