I wish I could help more, but I'm just writing to say that in my
visit to the McCool Cemetery in Porter Co., I found a high
concentration of Carlson's buried there. Although I am not directly
related to the Carlson family, I had an Uncle in Porter Co., who
married a woman who, after my Uncle's death, married a "Thure
Carlson". I haven't yet determined who Thure's parents were. I know
this isn't much to go on, but perhaps down the road you'll find a
connection.
Regards,
William Taber

Jeannette (Janet) Marie Gardner was born 7 Nov 1920 in IN, probably
Bedford.
She died in Los Angeles Co, CA 15 Mar 1988 and was buried in Louisville, KY.
The SSDI states that the last benefit was paid in Porter Co, IN. I feel like
she must have survivors living in Porter County.
Jeannette was my 3rd cousin although none of our surviving family members
ever knew her. We lost contact with her family around 1943. I am hoping to
find one of her family members that we do not know.
Thank you,
Sandi
