Undertaker Bergstresser- Lehigh, Northampton, Bucks Counties
Does anyone know where I can get information on coroner's inquests that were done during Bergstresser's time as the coroner? In 1922, several news articles on the murder of an ancestor in Northampton County state that a coroner's inquest was going to be performed at a later date and they appointed a jury for that purpose.
Also, in 1947, the death of my grandfather's 11 year old sister in Bucks County was being investigated by the same coroner and her death certificate states "pending investigation."
I contacted the coroner's office, but they told me that they rarely have records from before the mid 1960s, and that any documents filed by the coroner back then belonged to that coroner, and not the county.
Does anyone know where these documents could be housed? I have not found any news articles in two years after these deaths that would tell me the results of the inquests.
