One ohter thought . . . if you can find a mortuary that was and is still
in business, maybe they can help you. When you write to the cemetery, do
you uinclude a self-address stamped envelope? Ask them to reply even if
the answer is that they don't ahve reocords.
Another idea you may have already used though. . . the libraries have a
book telling them what newspapers were in print where at what periods and
who has the archives. Maybe, even without a date, you could get help find

I think it is wonderful that so many took my "just a hint "post and put
it to good use, and for those of you that decided to volunteer with no
help from me... good for you!!!
I have had so much feedback on that post that I decided to do a PS and
add a few more tips on how to volunteer. Hope they help!!!
Most counties in the USA have towns that aren't quite ghost towns, but
they are so small that most people call them "a place you'll miss if ya
blink"... go visit one of those really small towns and see if

Hi Kathleen,
I was under the impression the one I gave you was a different
genealogical society, a city rather than a county group. They might have
different info available, or a volunteer to hunt in the library or give
you a list of mortuaries in Pittsburg.

Hi Gloria,
I do this when transcribing cemeteries. I always carry my digital camera with me
while walking it.I click pictures at random or like if a cemetery is named after a
family,I get pics of all the surname and then just keep them.I recently received an
email from someone about a tombstone at a local cemetery.In 5 minutes they had a
copy of the picture.

Hi Jan:
Yes, I love the Crawford County Genealogical Society, they are who helped me
with the cemetery index. At that time, they did not have any further
information than the year. But, they were also in the process of indexing
obituaries, so I would love to know how far they are with the project.
Is there anyone on the list that knows what years have been indexed for
obituaries?
Take Care,
Kathleen

Hi Iris:
Unfortnately, I did try to receive the death certificate, but they did not
have one on file. The cemetery is my best resource because he may have died
in the vicinity and been buried at Mt. Olive. The editor of the newspaper was
a friend of his brother, so I believe there would be an obituary there. The
obituary would really help clear up a lot. If only I knew more than the year
of death.
Thank you for writing, I appreciate your suggestion.
Take Care,
Kathleen

Hi:
I was wonderfing if anyone has ever received a reply from Mt. Olive Cemetery
in Pittsburg, Crawford County, KS to an inquiry? I wrote to them a while back
and they never responded. I am trying to find out a complete death date for
John Fredrick Swain, his stone reads 1866-1921. I am trying to find the exact
death date, so I can hopefully get an obituary. And also see if anyone else
is buried with him.
Any help would be appreciated.
Take Care,
Kathleen
Hi Kathleen,
I suggest you contact the Pittsburg Library by e-mail and see what they
can do for you. They have some newspapers. I was there a couple of
years ago and got an obituary for 1927. Try e-mailing at

Wanted to reply to Gloria's hints. I am helping a gentleman from Germany
