I am trying to find information on some obituaries that are posted at : http://www.tngenweb.org/warren/obit-cr.html The name I am looking at are the CROUCH obituaries. I sent an email to Maggie Reggio, but it came back as undeliverable. I have added the email that I tried to send to Ms. Reggio, if you know her or can answer my question, please contact me.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Ken Rogers, Sr.
*********E-Mail Message to Ms. Reggio*********
Hello Ms. Reggio,
I am interested in the below Obituaries, it seems that Mrs. Laura Rogers Crouch is my aunt. I have been doing research on my father's family for a few years now, and it was just the other day I ran across Mrs. Crouch's obituary. My father is Odas (Otis) E. Rogers, a few months ago all I knew about him was that he was from Tennessee and lived in or around White or Warren Counties and that he was born on 11 Oct 1904/1912.
What I am interested in is the first name of her husband Mr. Crouch and I would like to know if the other three obituaries are related to Laura's husband?
If you have any further information, please contact me, I am home 24/7.
God Bless and Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Ken Rogers, Sr.
