Henry Ledyard Carscadin died in Brownsville TX June 2, 1947 and I believed is buried at Buena Vista Burial Park. There were obits/death notice published in Brownsville Hereld on June 4 & 5th. 1947. I obtained this info from www.newspaperarchive.com which is a fee site that I don't have subscription for but can search. Could SKP either give me a free website that might have his obit or if newspaper archives are available at your public library, look it up the next time your at library. I've tried www.findagrave.com and the Cameron County Texas Gen web site with negative results. Thanks in advance.

If anyone on this list needs info from Buffalo NY (Erie County) I'd be more than happy to help.

I replied to the mailing list and then realized I should probably reply to the board instead. Sorry for the duplicate.

I found both notices in the Brownsville Herald. There may be more but the name Carscadin isn't coming up on a search so you have to browse to find them.
