Pam:
I notice you keep saying 1926 as a death date but the obit for James Garrett
was in the 1927 newspaper not 1926. This may make a difference if you write
to the state for a death record.

Hi Marlene,
Thank you for your offer. A lot of my family lived in the Hammond area so
there is always something I need. Please let me get back to you.
I am surprised to hear that it is so hard to get a Death Certificate from
Hammond. Normally it's easier to get the records from the county than from
the state. I didn't realize IN really had any restrictions. There have
been several counties in IN that I have just walked in and gotten the
records with very minimal questioning. Am glad you said something about it
because I was planning on sending to Hammond for the record this week.
James Garrett was in Rockport in 1920 (census) and died at home,
Cherry St., Hammond in 1926. According to his obit in THE HAMMOND TIMES,
he had been suffering from asthma for the last 4 years. It said he had been
employed at the plant of the Locomotive Superheater Co. in East Chicago. I
am pretty sure he was living with his dau, Iva Pause, at the time of his
death. Undertaker was Neidow.
Thank You,
Pam Belden
