. Lisa has a partial index
for the Galveston newspaper and there is an Ella Mendenhall listed in
1908. Lisa provides an inexpensive service to provide newspaper articles.
Perhaps an obit will say where Ella was laid to rest. Neither Mary Ella
nor Elmer are listed in the Cass County death indexes.

I have recently learned that my maternal grandfather's maternal
grand-parents (my great-great-grand father & mother) are both buried in
the Masonic cemetery in Young America, Cass County. He is Elmer E
MENDENHALL and she is Mary Ella (DUNCAN) MENDENHALL. I have visited the
cemetery and have pics of his mother's headstone (Sarah HOOVER-MENDENHALL)
but never found a headstone or plaque for Elmer or his wife, Ella. I know
that Ella died sometime after 1904 and before the June 1910 census was
taken. I also know that Elmer married Mary Clementine FOIST (her 3rd but
not her last marriage) and I know that Elmer was enumerated with a nephew,
Davis L JESTER, in Miami County, Ohio at the time of the 1920 census.
I am trying to confirm burial in Cass County, but have no date of death
for either individual.
Can death records be located, either in Cass County or Indianapolis if I
do not have a date other than a time-span?
ANY assistance is greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
