Message Board Post:
Anyone have advice on where to look for an obituary for my Anna (Morris) Housknecht who
died 7 August 1876? She is buried in Milford Bethel Cemetery of Milford Township. I
assume she lived in Milford Twp. at the time of her death. She lived there at the time of
the 1870 census although her widower husband was living in Johnson Township at the time of
the 1880 census. I did look at microfilm of The Lagrange Standard newspaper without luck,
but thought maybe that was too far from Milford Twp. Anyone know of other available early
newspapers for the Milford/Johnson Twp. area? I did find a two-line obituary in the
Lagrange Standard for her husband John A. Housknecht, but he didn't die until 1902.
Last name found as Housknecht/Houseknecht/Hausknecht. Appreciate any suggestions.
