I have been told, regarding the below, that the Seymour and Brownstown
papers are on micrifasche(sp?) at the Seymour library. I am also told that
for the Seymour newspapers, those between 1890 and 1900 were destroyed by
the 1937 flood. The rest seem to be there.

Melanie,
Have you checked to see if there were Newspapetrs then? I think there may
have ben. I would check that out and put names dates , places etc and ask
for imfo on newspapers and also don't forget to ask if someone could do
some
look ups for you also for an article about a fire etc.
Tell all what you know, put message on the Surname sites of the people
and also the County/ State , sites they lived in and whatever happened to
them in. Ask for look up's for Obits etc.
Let me know what you get and if you need some help let me know. You will
need to subscribe to the surname and county sites if you haven't already.
before posting the messages.

Subject: [INJACKSO] Funeral Homes
Did Jackson Co., have such things as Funeral Homes in 1875 era?
My ggggrandparents died in or around Jackson Co., but cannot find their
burial place. Then my
gggrandfather's wife died in 1876 following the death of her mother and
sister. Then their own children died in 1877 the following year after
their mother's death. The children were consumed
by fired and smoke inhalation.
Now this is terrible to ask, but how would the bodies been buried back
then? Would they have
tried to find them, or would they have done something else?
I wouldn't have thought my gggrandfather would have just left them
there; I would thought they
or some of the family would have tried to bury what they could near
their mother, wherever that
may be?
Anyone have any idea's? I know this sounds morbid, but sometimes you
have to think mobility,
to get the answers you're looking for.
