Several of my Schroeder family ancestors are shown in Laughery Township beginning with the
1900 census (previously were in Jackson County), various members of the family are in the
microfilmed St. Pauls Lutheran Church records and are listed in the online Cross Roads
Cemetery records.
I ordered death certificates from the Ripley Co. Health Dept. for Johann/John H. Schroeder
d. 9 Dec 1889, Catherine Schroeder d. 27 Jan 1912, and Louisa Schroeder d. 13 Aug 1893,
and gave Schrader as an alternate spelling for each. I received a reply that there was no
record of any of the deaths. It was suggested that I check with Franklin County or
Decatur County for the death records. Is it reasonable to think all the deaths would have
occurred in another county?
Any advice would be appreciated. Johann H. Schroeder is my gg grandfather who immigrated
from Hannover in 1865.
