The following Obit appeared in the KC Times in 1905. I know that Kansas didn't start death certificate until after this date. Does anyone have an idea on where I might start looking for information? Pearl has been a brick wall for me. Should I start at the funeral homes or elsewhere? What about Missouri?
Thanks,
SLF.
