After searching and searching I haven't found anything. Doesn't mean it's not there...just haven't found it. Some of the cemeteries aren't online and some of them are not complete. Do you have anyway of looking for funeral homes in the town(s) where they might have died? Someone has the information somewhere.

Hello Barbara:
Both places are in Aroostook county.
I just received a letter from a sister who is working on this with me. She
is more familiar with that area.
Anything to shed light on it will help.
I really believe she is buried in Westfield or Fort Fairfield. The year
would be after 1931 - but not too much after- she was 82 and ailing in Fort
Fairfield at that time.

> Yes, as far as I can find it is in Aroostook county, Westfield that is.
Still looking. The problem is there are so many cemeteries! What I keep
coming up against in my searches is ancestry.com. Frustrating. They're
expensive.
