dee_burrisI've always been on the lookout for information about the sons of my great great grandparents, Jacob Duffie Williams and Catharine C Mueller.
Lucien, Virgil, Urban Orville and Otis have been very elusive.
The Williams family Bible gives Lucien's date of death as 27 Dec 1900, but does not give a location.
Yesterday, I spent some time on newspapers.com and found this about Urban.
KENTUCKY KNOWLEDGE
...Urban Williams, a printer aged 30, was run over and killed by a train at Frankfort.
The newspaper was The Semi-Weekly Kentuckian, (Hopkinsville, KY), dated 31 Oct 1884, at page 2.
Urban Orville Williams was born on 21 Oct 1853, so if he was still 30, that means his death occured in October 1884, but before his birthday.
I can't find any Frankfort articles or any information about where he's buried.
Sometimes finding a date and place of death doesn't feel so good. But then,facts often don't, do they?
