Hi again,

I just went to the web site for the City of Medford, and, as with most Cities in the area, there is a $10 charge for obtaining a birth or death record. And, you must write a formal letter to them (no e-mails for requests).

(I looked for a long time to find out where my great-grandmother's only maternal cousin died. The SSDI only listed that he died in MA in 1960's. I don't recall how I found out that Carleton HUTCHINSON died in Medford, but I might have written to the Medford Clerk's office asking if it was possible he died there. I had the actual date of death. And, that showed me where he was buried. What I still don't know is when his wife died. But, I heard from a relative of hers about a year ago, and he might have told me. I'll try to find his e-mail to me. She was 2nd wife, Mrs. Mabel (ROSS) HUTCHINSON, possibly dying in Medford in 1950's.)
