Thank you so very much.Actually I had everything that you listed with the exception of the deaths of the two children in Omaha.And believe me that is so much help.
Professor Decker, his wife, Mary Timothea and Henry died of yellow fever in Memphis.However, they apparently had a quick burial in Memphis.His death was in over 10 newspapers all over the country.
Now that I can place them in Omaha in a certain timeframe perhaps, I will be able to find the christening of Mary Christina, my great grandmother.She was born in 1865.
Thank you again, these two deaths have given me a paper trail now, to follow.
with regard,
Katrina
