Message Board Post:
Helen Bradley d 7 Dec 1911 in Stroh, Milford Township, LaGrange Co., Indiana.
I have a copy of her Indiana Death Certificate for which her 2nd husband was the
Informant. He listed her father as:
"David Randel" [SHOULD have been "David RANDOL"]
He lists Helen's mother's maiden name as "Gravatte"
I believe "in my bones" [ and based upon other records] that Helen's
mother's maiden name was WESTBAY [in fact, her name was Jemima Westbay.]
David RANDOL [s/o Henry & Rachel McDonald RANDOL]
b abt 1826 Ohio
d 11 Oct 1894 LaGrange Co., Indiana
m 7 Feb 1854 LaGrange Co., Indiana
Jemima WESTBAY
b abt 1831 PA
Jemima died Bet. 9 Jun 1860 - 16 Jul 1870 [between the 1860 and 1870 US Federal censuses]
She left 3 small daughters with her widower husband.
I am trying to track the 3 little girls. The oldest was the woman I need the obit for =

Sarah Helen RANDOL [Coney]
m 2nd 16 Jul 1887 , LaGrange Co., Indiana
David D. Bradley [What happened to him?]
b Dec 1852 Indiana
I find no evidence of Helen having children by Bradley.
I am hoping that one of her 3 Coney children provided the information for [Sarah]
Helen's obit.
Please let me know the cost and procedures for acquiring an OBIT for Sarah Helen RANDOL
Coney Bradley who d 7 Dec 1911.
Respectfully,
Sally Randol-Hardy
