Hi, Thank you for your help!I know that Dave lived in Walhalla, SC when he died and I know who his wife and children were, but nothing about his parents.I went to the Greenville library & found his wife's obit in the newspaper, but not Dave's.All I had to go by was June 4, 1936; the reference librarian seemed to think that that was his date of death listed in the book & not the newspaper date.I guess I just kept overlooking it when I tried the newspapers.I read the info. about the book from one of Gary Wilbanks' e-mail posts.Also, Robert Wilbanks did a little research on Dave and could not find a specific family connection to anyone.He did seem to think that Dave's ancestors were William and Abarella (not sure of spelling).His wife, Elizabeth, is buried at Double Springs Church, above Walhalla, SC.At least the obit. says "funeral services will be conducted from Double Springs church".I do intend to visit the cemetery, I just haven't been able to do that yet.I have requested her death certificate, but not Dave's.I wasn't sure if I had enough information.Is there anyone near this church that would go to the cemetery for me?Oh, Dave & Elizabeth are my great great grandparents.Thank you again for your interest and help.
