Exploratory Data Analysis: Pearl May (Beals) Lambertson (1878-1970)


Pearl May (Beals) Lambertson (1878-1970) was my maternal 2nd-great grandmother.  What follows is an exploratory analysis of the biographical information I have collected about her.

1. Vital Records

     1.1. Birth Certificate

          Pearl was born May 11, 1878 in Westfield, Hamilton County, Indiana1.

          1.1.1. Birth Notice in Newspaper

               I have not yet searched contemporary newspapers at the time of Pearl's birth to see if it was mentioned.

          1.1.2. Bible Record

               I am not aware of any surviving Bible records for the Beals family.  Will continue to reach out to extended family in hopes that one does exist.

          1.1.3. Baptismal Record

               I am not aware of any baptismal records for Pearl.  Her family was of the Society of Friends (Quaker) faith.

          1.1.4. Adoption Record

                There is no indication that Pearl was adopted.

     1.2. Marriage license

          Pearl was married on April 18, 1897 in Cicero, Hamilton County, Indiana2, to Charles Wilson Lambertson.  I do not yet have a copy of their marriage license.

          1.2.1. Marriage notice in newspaper

               Will need to search out mention of their wedding on my next library research trip.

          1.2.2. Anniversary notice

               Charles and Pearl's wedding anniversary was mentioned in the newspaper on their 57th wedding anniversary2.  I need to search out other mentions of their anniversary.  Their 25th would have been in 1922, and their 50th was in 1947.

          1.2.3. Divorce decree

               There is no indication that they ever filed for divorce, but I have not searched court records to verify.

     1.3. Death Certificate

          Pearl died August 3, 1970 in Elwood, Madison County, Indiana3.  I have not yet obtained a copy of her death certificate.  Will add this to my "to-do" list for my next research trip.

          1.3.1. Obituary in newspaper

               Pearl's obituary appeared in the August 4, 1970 edition of the Anderson, Indiana Daily Bulletin3.

               Pearl's obituary appeared in the August 4, 1970 edition of the Elwood, Indiana Call-Leader.

               Will need to search other local newspapers to see if her death was mentioned.

          1.3.2. Funeral home records

               According to her obituary, funeral arrangements were handled by the Copher & Fesler funeral home in Elwood, Indiana.  Will need to contact the funeral home to see if they have any surviving records.

          1.3.3. Tombstone photograph

               Pearl's tombstone in the Cicero City Cemetery has been photographed4, and was the subject of a previous post.

2. Census Records

     2.1. Federal Census Records

          Not applicable, as Pearl was a female.

4. Land Records

     4.1. Deed Records

          Deed records need to be searched thoroughly in Hamilton, Howard and Madison Counties, Indiana for records of land purchases.

     4.2. Plat map / county map

          Will need to search out the various plat maps in the above mentioned counties for locations of Lambertson properties, including city maps in Elwood, Indiana.

5. Supplemental Records

         Supplemental records available to research for Pearl include city/county directories, court records and will and probate records.  Will add these items to my "to-do" list for my next research trip.
