I ordered and just received a "Death Certificate File Information" from the Putnam County Health Department. I had been told by another researcher that the birth place of the father and mother were on Putnam County death records. In fact another researcher said they got the information I wanted from this particular death record. It did not appear on the record I received. How difficult is it to get an actual photo copy of a death certificate in Putnam County?

Also, the Furneral Home director was Otto F. Lakin; could someone tell me what funeral Home he worked with and whether that funeral home is still in business? If not in business, where their records are?

Oh, the person I am research is Jame Allen Cox, called Squire. The death record calls him Squire, but that is simply what the family called him. He was born 15 Jan 1818 in Kentucky and died 9 June 1900 in Putnam Co., IN.

His first wife was Nancy W. Harrar and second Cynthia A. Vermillion. I am looking for death and burial records for both of them.
