Looking for
information on Stephen McNeal Baker, my great-grandfather. He
lived most of his life in Rushville, Indiana, (born in New York) but spent the
last few years in or near Anderson.
According to his
obituary (published in the Rushville newspaper) he died at his home in Anderson on 30 October 1897 after
having been sick for some time. He is buried in a small country cemetery near
Rushville. After his death his wife, Isabel, returned to Rushville.
I've been to
the Anderson library and looked through the Anderson 1897 newspapers but can't
find any notice of his death. I've visited the Anderson Health Department
and they don't have any record of his death. The Rush County health
department doesn't have any record of his death either.
So, I was wondering
if there was a local genealogist who might be able to suggest other places to
look for information concerning Stephen's death. I was hoping to find a
death certificate or other document that identified who Stephen's parents were,
which is my brick wall. Thanks.
