( Note: This was written on Thursday, August 5th – the morning after my panic.)ĭo you ever read about some software update or change on an Internet site and think I need to do something NOW? Having been a building technology coordinator for over 20 years, implementing software updates sometimes required an immediate reaction. Thus, I will continue to work thru these hints. Without the Ancestry hinting system, I doubt I would have found this particular obituary for my great grandmother. “Pioneer of Kansas Dies at Dodge City,” The Wichita Eagle (Wichita, Kansas), 28 September 1954, page 11 digital image, (: viewed online 5 September 2021). Burial will be in Maple Grove Cemetery here. Wednesday in the First Methodist Church here with the Rev. Crawford helped organize and was an active member of the East Side Bible Class organized in 1917 and still active.įinal rites are slated for w p.m. Crawford had been active in Methodist work since girlhood and received her 50 year pin several years ago. Crawford celebrated their golden wedding anniversary in 1940. Two years later the family moved to a farm in Ford County southwest of Dodge City and later moved to Dodge city. 9, 1875 in Know County, Ill., she came with her parents, Mr. She had been active until her final illness.īorn Feb. Crawford, 79, widely known resident for many years here, died Monday morning in Trinity hosptial where she had been a patient briefly for treatment. This obituary was published in The Wichita Eagle (Wichita, Kansas) on. Thus, I was surprised to find that the Ancestry hint led to a copy of Josie’s obituary. This find was in my early days of research, when I transcribed portions of the obituary and took notes on the other parts.Įven though many of the Dodge City newspapers have been digitized, the 1954 issues have yet to be digitized. Thus, I had already found my great grandmother’s obituary in the Dodge City Daily Globe. Since I live in Kansas, I have access to a wonderful newspaper collection at the Kansas State Historical Society. Instead, I was surprised to find the hint leading to an obituary. Thus, when I saw a new hint, I thought it would be to another Ancestry member tree. I had already done quite a bit of research on Josie. That is the case with a hint for my great grandmother, Josie Winifred Hammond Crawford. Sometimes, they lead me to a record that I wouldn’t have thought to research. Since I primarily use Ancestry, those leaf hints often take me to obvious sources such as census records, Find a Grave memorials or vital records. Even though I will search for a particular set of records or county histories, I spend most of my research time following those hints. In reality, this research involved locating specific types of records and then using those records to search for my famiily. When I first started researching my family history, my process was centered around locating specific information. Do you use the hinting system found on some of the genealogy websites? Or, are you one that only searches for specific information?
