I have been trying to find a death date/place for my great-grandmother, Sarah/Sally LEAH, who was born in England in 1845; came to US in 1858 with her parents, Samuel and Sarah (MITCHELL) JACKSON and siblings;
They were in Marshall Co, IN by 1866, where Sarah married 1879, John YOUNGMAN, as his 2nd wife.
John and Sarah were in Kokomo, Howard Co, IN in 1872 where my grandfather, George Samuel YOUNGMAN was born. In 1880, John is in Davidson Co, TN and married to his 3rd wife, Julia __?__.
What happened to Sarah? I have not been able to find any record of death/divorce in Howard Co. They MAY have moved to Indianapolis after George's birth, but that has not been proven yet, nor have I turned up anything in death records there.
John YOUNGMAN's brother, Harrison YOUNGMAN, had moved to Howard Co. from Shelby Co. after his marriage to Mahala FORSYTHE on 9 Aug 1860. Maybe John and Sarah L. were visiting them or living there when Grandpa George was born in 1872?

I wish to obtain the date of Jennie SMALL's death and the date of her obituary? The obituary appears in the obituary file of the Howard County Library. Her parents were Gideon and Rebecca (COMPTON) SMALL.
Jennie was born in New London and taught in a number of Indiana school districts.
Jennie was not in the 1870 census (too young) and the print of the obit matches the 1960's/1970's style.

Need birth place and parents of the following:
Thomas ADDISON b. 25 Mar 1825, NC? d. 26 Mar 1905, Howard Co. Married Rachel HUNT 12 Oct 1843 in Rush Co.,In.
Rachel HUNT was born abt 1825, possibly in Ohio, but I have no further information on her. She most likely died in Howard County also.
I have been told there is a possibility they are buried in Randolph cementery located on the East side of US 31 about 375 South.
