Message Board Post:
Samuel Kennedy's death doesn't show up in the
ancestry.com Indiana WPA death
records, at least not under the correct spelling. He doesn't show up in the Illinois
State Archives database of Illinois deaths for that time period. That leaves Wisconsin, or
someplace else, or his name got indexed incorrectly.
He doesn't show up in the Rhinelander, Wisconsin newspaper obituary index.
It's interesting that the Kennedy family is not in the Rhinelander City Directory for
1912-1913, but show up in the 1914-1915 directory, and Bertha is not listed as a widow,
but as "Mrs. Bertha Kennedy". Are you sure that she and Samuel didn't get
divorced?
Why would the family be in Wisconsin?
Chris
