Did you send for the death certificate?
There is a form to request a death certificate
on the Vanderburgh Gen web page or at
http://vchd.evvindiana.org/deathapp.html
which is a link from the page.
I checked the funeral home records at the library over the summer and at the time they did
not have records for 1984.
Joseph Schaeffer changed the name to Schaeffer-Dorsey in 1969. They were located at 300 N
W 5th Street in Evansville. I don't think they are in business anymore. I could not
find them in the book and the 5th & Court Street address is not a funeral home
anymore.
Your best bet is the death cert. It should give the cemetery he is buried in.
The death index had two listings
Book Ch-4A page 195 & Book Ch-4 Page 61
The only other thing I can offer is to maybe call the Vanderburgh Co., Indiana health
dept. and see if they will give you the information on the phone.
Good Luck
Susie
