Sheila,
The mention of the casket definitely belies a deeper story. Wish I knew why
....
The 1873 marriage certificates will give you, at the very best, a minister
or justice of the peace that can identify a certain area within the county.
Some don't even have that much information!!
Newspapers are our only sources for that time period.

Subject: Re: obits - MCKENNEY
Phyllis and Barb,
These obits are interesting in several aspects.
1. The Obit of my Grandfather, Frank Faulconer, (according to my Mother)
seems most accurate.
2. The Obit of his first wife, Mary or Mollie Dunn, is most interesting.
No
mention is made of Frank or of the son, Howard,. who was born on the
day
she
died. Family history indicates that she died in child birth. Howard
was
reared by his grandparents, Henry and Missouri Dunn, known as Pa and Ma
Dunn.
Quite interesting that more is made of the quality of her casket than
of
her
life.
3. The Obit of Pollard McKenney is a different Pollard than the one I am
particularly interested in. The Obit was interesting to say the least.
I am interested in the Pollard McKenney who was married to Margaret
Holvittle. Pollard was a Civil War Vet who died April 25, 1917. His twin
sister, Louisa, is my Great Grandmother.
Barb, do you have the obit on this Pollard?
Barb, Phyllis, or Melinda---does anyone have the marriage license
application
for Pollard and Margaret which might show Pollard's parents and
thus my
great-Grandmother's parents' names. They were married October 9, 1873
????
Thanks for all you do.
Sheila
