Hi Morgan County Folks,
I have located a book in the Morgan County Public Library online catalog
called "An Abstract of Births, Deaths, Marriages, etc. from Morgan County, Indiana
Newspapers, 1891-1893", by McGuire.
I am trying to find the exact date of death and place of burial for my
gggg-grandmother Polly "Mary" (Parks) Anderson. She was born 29 August 1808 in
North Carolina to William & Jemima (Branch) Parks. She married (1) William
Riddle, (2) John H Ridgeway, and (3) was married to John E Anderson, 28 May 1853
and lived in or near Martinsville.
She had children William T, Priscilla Caroline, George Marion, & Harrison H
Riddle with her 1st husband William Riddle. There were no children that I know
of from her marriage to John H Ridgeway and no children that I know of from
her marriage to John E Anderson.
From other newspaper articles (see below), it looks like she died
between 22
September 1892 and 29 June 1893.
(22 September 1892) ARGOS REFLECTOR, Argos, Marshall Co, IN
Harrison Riddle visits his aged mother in Morgan County this week, and will
attend the reunion of his old Regiment at Vincennes before returning home.
(29 June 1893) ARGOS REFLECTOR, Argos, Marshall Co, IN
Harrison Riddle recently attended the funeral of his mother in Morgan County.
She died in her 86th year.
Would anyone have access to this book and be willing to do a lookup for me?
If I could get a date, perhaps her obituary and death certficate could be
located that would tell where she was buried. Any help greatly appreciated.
