After discovering the Shady Grove cem. listings posted in the rootsweb archives, I found that several members (all children) of Otis Allen's family (loc. in Holley twp., VB Co. in 1930 census) all died on the same day, March 16, 1940. I'm guessing that there was a fire, but if there are newspapers from the era saved or microfilmed, I'm sure the tragedy would have been reported and from that account I could learn what happened. If anyone has access to these newspapers, if they exist at all, I would greatly appreciate any information regarding the event. You may post here or email me directly at cblyeth@yahoo.com. Thanks so much!
