Dear Ernie,
Thanks so much for the replies. You are right, I gave you Lena's birth
date instead of death date. I'm doing this research for someone else as
a favor. And at this point I'm confused. So to start over:
I found a Lena S. & husband, Harry CROW in the 1920 census in Gibson
County. Then I found them in Maumee Cemetery. Lena born 27 Oct. 1893 &
died 23 Aug. 1958. I thought Lena was in actuality, Selina SCHULTHESS as
I was told Selina married Harry Crow. When I saw Lena & Harry together,
I ssumed Harry's wife to be Selina, nicknamed Lena.
Now you show Lena's birth name was SHARP. So much for my assumption !!!
So it seems, I'm really on the wrong track.
By some stretch of the imagination would you have any info on the
SCHULTHESS family ?
from DeKalb County?
Please advise & thanks again,
Emily
Hello Emily,
I have the obituary of Harry Joe Crow, son of Harry H. and Lena
(Sharp) Crow, who died February 2 2008 and was also buried in Maumee
cemetery. I can send it to you if it will be of use to you.
It may be difficult to find an 1893 obituary for Lena Crow, the
newspaper office on Owensville burned in the 1960's and all records
and archives were lost.

Emily,
A quick check of my records show that you may have the birth year
instead of the death year:
Lena S. Crow Born 27-Oct-1893 Died 23-Aug-1958 wife of Harry H.
Crow
