Comment by Marti Martin on August 15, 2009 at 5:28am: Union county is on the border of Illinois---maybe he died in a hospital there? I find there is an index of Illinois deaths online, but can't tell if any of the Charles Shaffers that died there was yours.

Comment by Joyce Garrott on August 13, 2009 at 10:45pm: S Horgan, do you know if your Gr grandfather died before or after your Gr grandmother. Do you think he might be buried in Pythian Ridge also. My husband lived in Union County for 20+ years and we still sometimes go up there. If you thought that he was buried there also I would try and get a picture of his marker. The libray in Christian County has death certificates up to 1957/58 but I would need to know more as to when he died. I cannot promise when we will get up there, but I will try if you like me too.

Comment by S Horgan on August 13, 2009 at 7:08pm: Hi All!
I am researching Shafer, Shaffer, Schaffer, etc. in Jefferson, Bullit, and Union Counties. The family as far back as I have found were in PA., and were suppose to be German emigrants.

I desperately need a death record of my great-grandfather Charles Shaffer born 6 May 1863 in Jefferson Co, son of Joseph C? Shaffer 1835-1912 Jefferson Co and mother of Mary Elizabeth Stout 1839-1912 also Jeff. Co. Charles was married Mary L. "Mollie" Henry b. 24 Jul 1866 in Union Co. died 7 Dec 1958 in Sturgis, Union, KY. She is buried in Pythian Ridge Cemetery, Sturgis, Union, Kentucky.
Charles moved to Sturgis sometime before 1890, cause thats when my grandfather Raymond Henry Shaffer was born. I have no marriage info for Charles and Mollie, but since she lived her whole life in Sturgis, that might be the place.
Any help, would be SO APPRECIATED! Thanks!

Comment by Kay Adkins on August 10, 2009 at 2:26pm: I see the name Searcy came up! Hubby's GG Grandpa Edward (Edwin) Remington Adkins (Family moved from Owens, KY, before he was born in MO4 May 1852) married a Harriet Searcy and moved to UT, but then she disappears. Anyone know anything at all about a Harriet Searcy? I've always suspected her family followed the same migration pattern as the Adkins.
