Message Board Post:
Birth records in White County don't start until 1883. So the only way to
"prove" a birth date is through a bible or church record. I believe the birth
information I have listed (as "Aug 1839") is from the information provided on
her death certificate which is a secondary source and not always reliable. My co-author
Jo Ann might also have a copy of her obituary. We would have to go back through all our
records to be sure.
I know about the WPA indexes but they aren't the original source. I have a copy of
the microfilm that Catherine (Weigle) Utley's death is recorded. I will go back and
double check on the burial location, but I have she was buried in an unmarked grave in
Brookston.
