Indiana, Death Index, 1882-1920 (from
FamilySearch.org)
Name: Willis Sims
Event Type: Death
Event Date: 14 Jun 1893
Event Place: Corydon, Indiana
Age: 69
Birth Year (Estimated): 1824
Gender: Male
Race: W
Affiliate Repository Place: County Health Office, Corydon, Indiana
Source Reference: The source of this record is the book H-21 on page 10 within the series
produced by the Indiana Works Progress Administration.
Contact the courthouse for a copy of the death return. Once in A GREAT WHILE the parents
are mentioned. I do not know the cost. Make sure you use the reference above.
Willis is not on Find-A-Grave. If you wish to get a photo of his grave - add his record to
Cedar Hill Cemetery and then request a photo. It's free.
There doesn't seem to be an obit for him and he did not leave a will. Nothing in
either index I have.
You need to find him on the 1850 census - that will probably show his parents.

Indiana Vital Records -
The state began requiring death registrations in 1900, so that is the earliest year you
will be able to find. County records or archive indexes may have more information going
back to 1882 but that will require a less central search on your part. More details below.

NOTE -
There is a 20 yr. gap in the census records [1880 - 1900] as the 1890 census was burned in
the 1920's. Add 20 yrs to everyone's 1880 age for the 1900 census.
