Query 2

From:  LaRae Schaffer (las500@aol.com)

I am looking for an obit for John W. Arrington/Arington.  He died in Colorado Springs, CO, but the notice in the Colorado paper, says the body was being sent to Wickliffe, Kentucky for burial.  Date of death is about 3-18-1920.  What I am ultimately looking for is the name of his 2^nd wife and possibly a marriage record/application for them.  I believe he married Sarah Daniel/s about 1906 – 1910 census says they were married 4 years.  I really need her mother’s maiden name.  Probably the long way around to get it, but I’ve tried so many other things, I’m running out of ideas.  I believe John spent most of his life in Ballard county, and Sarah in Pulaski county, IL.  She died in Calif. But her death certificate says mother’s maiden unknown.  I think, but am not this was a 100% sure that this was a 2^nd marriage for her also.  She didn’t have any children of her own.  Please let me know if you can help me and the charge.  I will happy to pay for your time.

Query 3

From:  Jane (Ross) Johnson  (janeellenjohnson@comcast.net

I have been searching for my father’s birth information.  His name was Harlon Ross and was born in Ballard County.  He was African American and was born approximately 1914.  His family lived on a farm.  I have checked with the Health Department and they could not find any record.  Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Query 4

From:  Kim Fortner (kimfortner@hotmail.com

I am looking for information of Henry Robert Beech.  He was born in Hickman Co. July 14, 1892.  He moved around in his life.  In 1930 he was living in Tucson, AZ.  However, I know that soon afterwards he moved back to Western KY and was living in Ballard Co.  (I think in Barlow).  He was widowed in 1930 but was married by 1937-38.  I am wondering if he married in Ballard Co.  All I know about his wife was she went by the name Pie/Py (spelling?) which I’m sure was a nickname.  I would like to know if he married there and what her real name was.  Henry died in Dec 1977 in Lake CO., FL.  I don’t know if he was brought back to Ballard CO and buried or not, and whether there would have been an obituary in the local newspaper.  I am trying to find anything I can on him.  I would really appreciate any help you all can provide.  Thanks in advance for your time.

A later note:  Thanks for your reply.  Since I sent you the email, I have found a little more information on Henry.  He died Dec 6, 1977 in Minneola, Lake Co., FL and is buried there (I didn’t know that previously).  Buried beside him is a wife named Mattie Allen Beech, who died Aug 27, 1982, also in Lake Co.  But I don’t know if this is the same wife that he had when he lived in Ballard, Co., who went by the name of Pie/PY(?)  It could be the same one or it could be a different one.  However, my questions remain the about his marriage, and possible obituaries in the local newspapers.
