Obituaries

9/10/2012

With a large concentration of my family having lived in Stamford, Connecticut, it only makes sense to take advantage of the Ferguson Library Obituary service.  They offer an index on their site, where you can search for obituaries, some going back to the late 1800's.

I was under the impression (I don't know why), that you had to pay $20/obituary.  After emailing the library to ask if there was any sort of discount for a large number of them, I received an email back, stating that they do this service free of charge.  Perfect!

Here is the list I am sending them:

Of special note is the one I have highlighted, Nichols, Mrs.  I do not know if this woman is connected to my Nichols, but considering the time period, it is possible that this could be my missing Clara Estelle (Blisard) Nichols.  My great grandfather Arthur Nichols wasn't a wealthy man, but it's possible he could have done an obituary if she passed.  My grandfather Gordon Everett Sr. was born in 1913, and by the 1920 census, Clara is missing.

I don't want to get my hopes too high, but the possibility is there.  I will keep you posted, once I receive them.
