Thank you I had found that. It's actually his daughter Nancy Ann, I was trying to find out what happened to her. His obit says she was with him there but nothing on her from there on.
Thank you

Ray Horsfall was buried in the VA Cemetery in Whipple, Arizona (according to military headstone application) or, on findagrave, at Prescott National Cemetery:

....so they appear to have been out there by 1955.

obituary or death certificate for "Gaddy"

diskoverit — 2013-01-14 03:38:15Z

Looking for information on a person named "Gaddy", no given name, buried in a paupers grave at Sunset Memorial Park. Gaddy died in May 1939.

I would like to find more information on this person.
I don't think there would be an obituary for Gaddy, but maybe a newspaper article or if you have access to death records that would be even better.

Note: If this is the Gaddy I'm looking for, I have already added this person to findagrave.

Divorce Records

ecchavez39 — 2013-01-06 23:54:51Z

I am looking for a divorce/annulment records for Lucinda Weaver-Porter and Carlos/Charles Porter. They were married 23 Dec 1849 in Santa Fe.
I found both living in 1860 in Albuquerque, Bernalillo, New Mexico Territory. Charles Porter lived on the military post; Lucinda Porter lived with several other individuals; her sister Bonifacia Weaver, then a Mr. Wheeler and a Mr. Page.
The 1870 US census shows Lucinda Weaver-Porter living in Texas being married to Louis Esparza. She was married before to Amado Villanueva.

Lucinda Weaver-Porter-Villanueva-Esparza stayed married to Louis Esparza.

As I said, I am looking for any type of information on the marriage to Carlos/Charles Porter to Lucinda Weaver (Paulino Weaver’s daughter).

Thanks in advance.

I see you are linked to my grandmother. Not sure who you are but your info is incorrect. She didn't die in 1976.

Re: Horsfall obit

Marmim0946 — 2012-11-16 05:31:21Z

That's what I've been trying to do without success. Her daughter Nancy is the person I've been trying to locate.
I know Florence was in Dubuque in 1960 by city directories. They end there. I wonder what would get a woman over 60 to move across the country away from her birth place? My only answer that made sense is Nancy came and took her to NM to be near her. I've given up on it since I have no married name to go by and since there were no Grand children listed on Ray's death, There is no evidence before that of Nancy marring. With no record of an obit it would seem there was no one left to provide any information for memorial tribute to a 103 year old woman.

Thank you so much for your time and interest. You've backed up my decidion to drop the search. There's just no proof that Nancy Ann Horsfall evem married or worked any where. She'd need the Horsfall name to even marry.

Re: Horsfall obit

RBestrom7380 — 2012-11-16 04:17:24Z

You may have the below, the only "problem" is your concern over the "last residence," which could be her daughters versus hers. Her husband Ray died in 1955...per records. So, she "could" have remarried and the SSDI records reflected her previous married name. OR, she could have died in Albuquerque...but that does not mean that she was living there. So many possibilities due to problems in our record systems:

The Social Security Death Index:
Florence I. Horsfall, born 13 oct 1899, died 2 July 2003, "last residence" Albuquerque, NM.
--The "last residence" on the SSDI is NOT necessarily where a person actually
lived or died. The Social Security Administration calls it simply the "home
of record." It is not necessarily where any benefit was paid to the person,
survivor, or the lumpsum death benefit (in 1972 was paid to anyone paying
burial expenses, family member, funeral home, city/county, attorney). It is
sometimes the location where the notification of death was sent to the SSA,
sometimes where the lump sum death benefit was sent.

The Bernalillo County recorder had no documents in her name, indicating she did not own property, record any documents, power-of-attorney, estates, etc. There is a recorded marriage of a Sarah Beth Horsfall to a Carl Finely in 2007.

Posted family trees identify her as born as Florence Noonan. She married Raymond Horsfall on 8 May 1918 and lived in Dubuque Co, IA to at least 1960. Ray died in 1955. She had a daughter "private" and a son Robert Ray Horsfall, died 19 Nov 1944 in the Netherlands. (Betting a Battle of the Bulge war casualty...I've been doing a number of these and those in the Netherlands "adopting" cemetery stones and the hero's).

I did a number of other searches, without success.

Your answer might be in finding her daughter.

Hi,

I found two Margaret Taylor's who may or may not be who you're looking for:

Margaret Taylor
Born: 13 Oct 1905
Last Residence MAYBE: Albuquerque, Bernalillo, NM
Died: July 1983
Her soc. sec. # was assigned before 1951.
Source: Social Security Death Index.

Margaret Taylor
Born: 20 jan 1909
Last Residence MAYBE: Albuquerque
Died: November 1981
Soc. Sec. # was assigned before 1951.
Source: SSDI

I marked the Last Residence as MAYBE Albuquerque because Social Security uses that field for other purposes too.

A Margaret V. Taylor
Born: 1909
Died: 1981
Buried: Gate of Heaven Cemetery, Albuquerque, Mausoleum.

New Mexico death records are very restricted (for details go to usgwarchives.org/nm/nmdir.htm), therefore, I couldn't look for her in the New Mexico Death Index.

Did you ever find his obituary? I am looking for one also for the same reason. He a minister in the Congregational Church in Douglas, Michigan and also interim pastor at Grandville-Jenison Congregational Church in Michigan, and served as a supply minister until the 1990's. The Grandville Church is celebrating it's 175th Anniversary in Oct. 2013 and I am researching it's ministers and the churches they served.
My mother was the church secretary/clerk during most of the time he was there. Both he and his wife continued to attended regularly.

Horsfall obit

Would some one have a way of checking old newspapers for an obit? I want to find an obit for information on Florence I. Horsfall b 13 Oct. 1899 in Dubuque, Iowa. She died at 103 on 2 July 2003 in Albuquerque, Bernalillo, NM. I'm not sure when she moved there or why.

Thank you

Margaret Taylor

beckymac47 — 2012-07-29 16:47:05Z

I'm looking for a needle in a haystack. Margaret Taylor was a friend of my mother in Albuquerque NM. I think she originated back east somewhere--possibly New York--she was never married, and had a brother. She and Mom both worked in the office at Immanuel Presbyterian Church during the mid-1950's and early 1960s. She died in Albuquerque in the early 1980s.

Trying to find information on my GG grandfather. I know that he came to NM in the mid 1800's, married a local (Francisquita Sanchez), had kids, was a lawyer, a minister and was also appointed Postmaster and later District Judge. He died in 1876.

What I am looking for is ANY information before he came to NM. Records show he was born in PA around 1828-1829. Lots of men with the same name in that part of the country back then, so I can't confirm anything that I find. Parents, birth date, siblings, anything!!

Thanks!

Re: Obit request for Jim Clarence Beller

RBestrom7380 — 2012-07-11 05:32:18Z

I checked online records for the County Clerk of Bernalillo County. They have one document, a Power of Attorney for James given to an Aguilar Nicanor, recorded 1/4/1990.

Because of his age and potential of no living family members in the area, there might not be an obituary published. I'd contact the cemetery to see what records they have. If they have the funeral company officiating, THEY may have the records you need.

Re: Triplett

RBestrom7380 — 2012-07-11 05:22:32Z

Horace Simeon Coker, 10 Aug 1893 to 5 Nov 1951, married Lois Vivian Daugherty. Lois died 10 July 1990.
Daughter Helen Almer Coker, born 2 Aug 1924, died 17 Sep 1990 in Lubbock, TX

The Social Security Death Index does show "last residence" in Albuquerque, Bernalillo County.
---The "last residence" on the SSDI is NOT necessarily where a person actually lived or died. The Social Security Administration calls it simply the "home of record," and possibly the address where correspondence by the SSA was sent. It is not necessarily where any benefit was paid to the person, survivor, or the lumpsum death benefit (in years past, it was paid to anyone paying burial expenses, family member, funeral home, city/county, attorney; today, a living spouse). It is sometimes the location where the notification of death was sent to the SSA, sometimes where the lump sum death benefit was sent.

Also she may have died there, but wasn't living there, or living there long enough to have an obituary published. Her daughter died in Texas, so it "appears" Lois wasn't living with her daughter.

I checked online records for the County Clerk of Bernalillo County, and found no death related records. I checked for any Country Superior Court records (Probate, etc), but couldn't find. Suggest contacting the County Clerk. Or asking at the cemetery where she is buried. If they have the funeral home officiating, they might have records as to location of death, and transfer information, and possible obit.

Phone & Postal lookup in Albuquerque

raynerdm — 2011-12-04 09:35:20Z

This is my first post on an American board and in fact today is the first time I have confirmed a relative had lived in USA.

I have found an old post at http://www.genealogy.com/genealogy/users/h/i/c/Betty-J-Hicke... but unfortunately the lady's email address is no longer current. I would like to contact her as I believe we are related. Her name is Betty Joyce Hickel and at the time of the post was living in Albuquerque.

I had no luck finding an email address and as she would be in her seventies I thought I could write to her.

I am hoping you could steer me in the right direction to find a current address as there appears to be lots of sites out there offering to give me anything and everything about her and I am concerned the information may be either old or simply incorrect. Is there a more official site to check?

Hoping for some local knowledge.
