I took a look in the Johnson County Cemetery index and it only had the years listed for George's birth and death. The index also had a listing for his wife. Let me know if you would like that information.

You have several options to try and find this information about George.

1. Contact the cemetery directly and see if they have it......

Olathe Memorial Cemetery
738 N Chestnut St
Olathe, KS

913-971-5226

2. Search the Olathe newspaper(s) for his obituary. In 1948, it was a weekly paper. Microfilms are available from the Kansas State Historical Society for interlibrary loan. Visit this link and search for the microfilm number. Also take a look at the interlibrary loan policies from the link on the search page. Enter the year, "1948", for both the beginning and end of the time period, "Johnson" for the county, and "Olathe" as part of the title.

3. Visit this link and see if you qualify to apply for a death certificate.

4. Do an electronic yellow pages search for Frye Funeral Home in Olathe. Write them and see if they handled the funeral arrangments for George.

Good Luck in your search
