You might want to check with the Genealogy Department at the Wells County Public Library
in Bluffton.
Their website is:
wellscolibrary.org
I checked it and the do show a cemetry record for:
Last Name: Williams First Name: Samuel L.
Obituary: No information, but the may have an obit.
CEMETERY: FAIRVIEW, BLUFFTON, WELLS CO., IN.
Died: **-**-19**
Age: ?
Born: **-**-1889 Source: ?
Funeral: ?
Notes: ?
You may want to go to their site and copy the Request For Information Form, which they
will help you with. They are very helpful and knowledgeable. They also have the Funeral
Home Records for many Bluffton Funeral Homes, so you may be able to get that information
and contact theFuneral home for their records.
Ancestry.com has a Social Security Death Index for:
Samuel Williams
SS#: 310-07-3030
Born: 27 April 1889
Died: Sep 1973
With that information you should be able to getr a death certificate from the Well County
Clerk's Office or Department of Health. Those records usually show the cause of death
and what funeral home made the arrangements. And, the funeral homes are usually the ones
that handle putting an obit in the area newspapers.
