Death Certificate: Beulah Sarah Rockwell, 1940 Mercer County, Ohio

While working on updating my information and completing an exploratory analysis of my paternal 2nd-great grandaunt, Beulah Sarah (LeMaster) Rockwell, I located her death certificate at FamilySearch's database of Ohio records.

One interesting clue was that her birth date was listed as September 30, 1865 in Ohio.  In my database I previously had her birth in Jay County, Indiana on September 9, 1866 (unsourced).  Her tombstone also reflects the 1865 year of her birth.  Her husband, Lynn Rockwell, was the informant on the death certificate.

The funeral home was a bit hard to read, but appears to be the May funeral home.  An internet search found the Brockman-Boeckman Funeral Home still in existence in Ft. Recovery, having purchased the May funeral home in 1977.  Will need to write to them to see if they have any records.

Beulah's husband had her parents correct, but didn't know their birthplaces.  Mother's maiden name was Chew, mis-indexed as Chen by FamilySearch.

Funeral Record of Sarah (Beals) Albright, 1907

Records of Zook Funeral Home, Converse Indiana 1904-1922

Found this book at the Allen County Public Library in Ft. Wayne, Indiana some time ago and just now getting around to extracting the data.

Under the headings for funerals for 1907, I found the following record:

July 21 - Sarah Albright.

 

 

Sarah was Sarah Beals (1828-1907), daughter of Nathan C. and Elizabeth (Chew) Beals and the wife of Daniel S. Albright.  Sarah was my maternal 4th-great grandaunt.

Oberlin College Archives Response

Received a response from the archives at Oberlin College, where William Clifford LeMaster (1870-1922) graduated, in regards to my request for student information:

I have gone through the alumni registers and student cards for the 1890s time period and I have not been able to find anything about William Clifford LeMaster. The only students that I have been able to find are a Ralph and Mary LeMaster (from Kendalville, IN), both enrolled for the class of 1923.

I am sorry I was not able to find anything about William. Should I check to see if the other LeMasters have any student files for you?

My fiancee's grandmother was a LeMaster. I wonder if they are related!

I've followed up with a request for more information on these LeMasters from Kendallville, to see if we are related.
