I am looking for Margaret Dye, for whom I received a copy of a death certificate. She died in Jefferson County in 1954 at the age of 96, a widow, with parents named Bernard and Jeanette Abell.

I am hoping she is the widow of Douglas Dye. I am also hoping she is the same Margaret Dye, "a professional nurse, widow of Douglas Dye," who married my great-great grandfather, Pearce Butler Bohannon, in late 1905 in Jeffersonville, Indiana. (Mentioned in the December 28, 1905 Shelbyville newspaper) Something happened because P.B. died at the Confederate Soldiers Home in Pewee Valley in 1923, and Margaret Dye Bohannon is not listed anywhere - not on his death certificate, not in his obituary.

The death certificate lists a Howard Street address in Louisville, with the informant's name "Miss Viola Dye." Can anyone out there help?
