| Success Story |
| |
| In 2009, a request for
two obituaries was received from North Carolina. The first request
was for Agnus Schmidt. No results were found for her in the Denver
and Littleton papers. The search for the second obituary became very
interesting: Muriel Agnus (Schmidt) Hawkins died in 2002, but no
obituary was found for her in the Denver and Littleton papers. |
| |
| As a last resort the
Social Security Death Index was checked. This source indicated that
the "last residence" of Muriel was Canon City, not Littleton. The
Canon City library responded with contact information for the Royal
Gorge Regional Museum and History Center, and a payment of $10 was
forwarded to them. They returned two obituaries and two pages from
old directories for Muriel Hawkins. One obituary stated that Muriel
was buried in Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Denver. The cemetery records
were then checked, and they show that Muriel and her husband were
buried there. Also buried in the same block were Agnus Schmidt
(Muriel's mother, and subject of the first query) and her husband. |

| Hooray for a successful
search! |
