Ancestor died in Woodryck, WY 1914

Hello!

I have an ancestor Per Andersson, going under the name Peter Anderson in the US.
He was born in Hanebo, Sweden Mar 21st 1872, emigrated May 5th 1893 to Holdrege, Nebraska. He worked for many years as a logger, and in an old letter by his brother his death in TBC is dated for May 25th 1914 in Woodrock, Wyoming. To my knowledge he never married, and his brother talks in his mail about the "sinful life" of Per/Peter.

I have not been able to dig up a death certificate or a burial place using the resources accessible to me. Anyone here that came across him?


Best regards, Lars

Have you tried contacting the Wyoming State Archives? They have death certificates that are over 50 years old.
