Message Board Post:
I am conducting genealogy research on my great grandfather's family. One of his
daughters, Matilda Eva (Brown) Southcott lived and died in Terre Haute, Vigo County, IN.
I searched the Wabash Valley Obituary Index and found an obituary for Matilda, her
husband, and 4 of her children.
Since I am not a county resident and do not live in Indiana, the fee for each obituary is
$5, a total of $30 for the six obituaries. Although I really need the obituaries for my
research, the price is a bit steep. I am wondering if anyone in the Terre Haute area
would be willing to get paper copies of the obituaries for me (which are ten cents at the
library) or email me the text of the obituaries.
I would be happy to pay for the obituaries, postage, and person's time. Please feel
free to contact me at mbrown4230(a)yahoo.com
The following are the requested obituaries (information acquired from the Wabash Valley
Obituary Index):
1) Mrs. Matilda (Brown) Southcott, age 83, published November 19, 1954 on page 10 of the
TRIB
2) Matilda's husband, Mr. Benjamin Southcott, age 71, published August 26, 1936 in the
TRIB
3) Matilda and Benjamin Southcott's children:
A) Clarence Southcott, age 71, published April 1, 1972 on page 2 of the TRIB
B) Dessa R. Southcott, age 23, published April 19, 1932 on page 2 of the TRIB
C)Lyall W. Southcott, age 81, published March 8, 1988 on page 2 of the TRIB
D) W. Southcott, age unknown, published January 21, 1907 on page 1 of the TRIB
With great appreciation,
Melissa Brown
