Correction to my original message:
Jennie LONG ARTHUR, wife of William Isaac ARTHUR was still alive in September of 1918 (son
Delbert Fay ARTHUR's WWI draft registration lists her as next of kin living in
Indianapolis).
I suspect she died in the early 1920's and is buried somewhere in Hancock county with
her husband William. Possibly even in New Palestine, though I've searched that
cemetery I could easily have missed something.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jill Arthur Barry
