WHAT’S NEW

Good morning,

I have added some more information to Lucretia W. Hoss Garber’s entry in the Cherokee Community Cemetery, Section A, Row 22, Grave 15. Her tombstone has her death date as 1934 but her Tennessee Death Certificate has the year as 1931. [Thanks again, Gordon.]

This is a good example of why you should search for more than one record for a death date. The following are some examples of places to look:

  • Death Certificates
  • Tombstones
  • Family Bibles
  • Obituaries
  • Newspaper Stories
  • Funeral Cards
  • Biographies
  • Wills
  • Settlement of Estates
  • Medical Examiner/Coroner Reports
