Thanks! I hadn't thought about a map :)

Betty, I just went through the 1900 census for Center twp and all I saw is
the Allen Coyle family. I didn't even see a Lexington Ave but I was looking
closer for names so could have missed it. Is it possible he was in a
hospital or a Home of some kind? I believe senility and alzheimers?sometimes
mean the same thing. Perhaps it was impossible for them to?care for him at
home.
Maybe you can find an Indianapolis Street map from 1900 and see if that
tells you anything. I bet he is living near at least one family member.
There's always the chance that the census taker missed him.
Good luck.

Subject: [INMARION] Would like to locate an Enumeration District No.
I'm trying to find my ggg-grandfather, Isaac COYLE, in the 1900 census. He
seems to be an elusive bird. Today I received a copy of his death
certificate in the mail. He died in 1902; he was 91 years old--cause
"senility". His address at death is recorded as 1241 Lexington Ave.
(Center
Twp) Indianapolis, IN. He is a widower at the time of his death.
His youngest son is living in Acton (Franklin Twp), Marion Co.,
Indiana--but
the 1900 census for Robert Coyle's family does not list his father, Isaac.
Another son, Peter Allen Coyle is living in Indianapolis, and also does
not
list Isaac.
I have checked the Heritage Quest on-line census images (through my
library)--no Isaac Coyle (or Coil)
So, I'm wondering if it seems a logical search path to locate Lexington
Ave.
census in the 1900 census for Marion County and try to find out "who" was
living at that address? Could if be that ol' Isaac is listed there with a
married daughter or granddaughter?
OR--would it be easier to do a newspaper search for an obituary since I
now
death and burial dates?
Thanks for any help and suggestions,
Betty G.
