Query: Gerald or Noudas Loudenback, WW2, Anderson



                I recently purchased four WW2 letters sent by Gerald E. Loudenback to Mrs. Noudas Loudenback of R. R. #5, Anderson, IN. Gerald was a Navy enlisted man assigned to squadron VR-12 of the Naval Air Transport Service in the Pacific Theater.
            All of the letters were mailed in October of 1944. I would like to give these letters to a family member of the Loudenbacks. Please reply to the below email address.

Query: Alexander Hampton Wagnon, Dublin(?), Indiana



Dear Sir:
            I am writing for information on the new Dublin ferry boat. They built the new one because the old one was destroyed in a storm.
            My mother said that her grandfather Alexander Hampton Wagnon was a pilot on the new ferry around 1901.
            I would like to know what river the ferry ran on (maybe the Little River?) and anything you could tell me about Alexander Wagnon. Thank you very much.

Query: Nathan Fitzgerald, Fulton County



                I am looking for the death record and burial place for my great-grandfather, Nathan Fitzgerald. He was born in 1824 and died in 1858 in Fulton County, Indiana, in a tragic logging accident. 
                He left a wife, Mary Prince, and four young boys and one unborn boy, who was to be named Nathan L. Fitzgerald. They seemed to be living near Rochester.
