If anyone has any leads on how to search for information on a death that occurred in Alachua County sometime between 1878 and 1887, I'd love to talk to you. I have exhausted all census, deed and probate information. He is not listed in the Florida Combined Death Index for that period. If he left a will, it's not indexed in clerk's on-line information. Also I searched all the on-line cemetery sites I can find.

I will be in Gainesville for one day in September, and plan to search newspapers at Smathers and the Headquarters public library in Gainesville. Thanks, Sara
