Hello,
I am looking for any possible burial information (or any other info) on:
William Isaac ARTHUR
born July 1858 Indiana (probably New Palestine)
died August 3, 1917, Indiana
I believe he may have died and was buried in Hancock county - his parents, Thomas ARTHUR
and Jane McGAHEY are buried at New Palestine.
William married Jane (Jennie) D. LONG about 1879. I'm told they at one time lived
near Gem. I've found William listed as a farmer, but there is also a family rumor
that he may have been an ordained minister (denomination unknown). I've not been able
so far to determine where William and Jennie are buried (nor Jennie's date of death)
but I highly suspect somewhere in Hancock county.
Jennie was still alive in Sept. 1918, and is listed as next of kin on one of her son's
WWI draft registration - living then in Indianapolis. Some of William & Jennie's
children are buried also at New Palestine.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Jill Arthur Barry
