Thank you all for your help. Our internet went down and I was totally
surprised at the response of help. I never thought to link the DC
from familysearch, but here it is.
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/N727-168 Lizzie Bagley. No
undertaker address is listed. I do believe it is Rogerson but, how do
I find any existing records? Thanks again for all your help and
expertise!
