Dear Kathy
Obits in Evansville, IN newspaper:
http://browning.evcpl.lib.in.us/
There was an obit in the above database online, taken from Evansville, IN newspapers, for
"Laura Scales", age 80, who died 12/19/1979 in Princeton [Gibson County], IN ---
but not the date of death that you have given. This Laura would have been born about
1899. Obviously she had connections who resided in Evansville, hence the obit in
Evansville newspapers.
Funeral Home: Holder
Cemetery: PL, Evansville
There is no information whatsoever about any relatives in the obit --- rather unusual. It
might be worthwhile obtaining the death certificate*, cemetery records, or contacting
research librarians at Willard Library, Evansville.
*Vital Statistics addresses, for B-M-D --- preferably send first to the County, then to
the State, if necessary:
