Hello, Debbie,
I am most thrilled to tell you that I took your advice and contacted the gentleman that you suggested at the Library and early last evening I received an email from the Library (not the man you mentioned) stating that the obituary had been found in the Marietta Times for 26 Dec 1945 and that after providing my address they would mail it forthwith at the nominal cost of $1.10. Of course I have done that and am looking forward to receiving same. I surely do thank you because when I went to t

Would someone be kind enough do do a Marriage look-up for me on a Lawrence MUELLER who married a Blanche ???? in Washington Co., Ohio I don't know the year, but I am thinking it could be in the late 1890's and before 1909.
I am also looking for a burial record or some kind of documation on where Blanche Mueller could be buried. She died sometime after 1910. Maybe 1911 or 12. Possibly died in Washington Co.

I apologize for having to broadcast this to the whole list, but I am at a loss to find this person via other means.
Could the kind person (Linda Hall?) who sent me some info a while back about Joseph Carpenter and his family's Indian captivity story please contact me? The info somewhat matched up with what I know of my Carpenter lines and I would love to swap stories.
Thanks so much,

Hamilton JETT, 17-year-old Marietta boy who died at the State Industrial
