Hi all,
I'm looking for additional information, particularly place of burial, of my
GG-Grandfather & his wife:
William Isaac Arthur, b. July 1858 Indiana (most likely New Palestine, parents Thomas
Arthur & Jane McGahey)
married Jennie (Jane) D. Long January 1, 1880 in Hancock county Indiana.
William died August 3, 1917, presumably in Hancock county.
Family story is that William & Jennie had a farm in Gem (it's a wide spot in the
road a little north of New Palestine, if my memory serves correctly).
Jennie died between late 1918 and 1920. I have further background on both William &
Jennie, but not Jennie's exact date of death, or where either one of them are buried.
I was not able to locate William in the New Palestine cemetery, but that doesn't
necessarily mean he's not there. There is also a slim possibility that Jennie died
in Indianapolis, but I would still expect her to have been buried in Hancock county. (A
bit confusing also is that Jennie's real name was likely Jane, which was also her
mother-in-law's name, and Jane McGahey Arthur died in 1920 and is buried in New
Palestine.)
Thank you so much for any help you can give.
Jill Arthur Barry
