JOHNSON

Sylvia D Douglass [mailto:sylviad1@juno.com] July 2004

A few years back we tried getting a death record for an ancestor, Samuel
Johnson, who died in Kay Co Jan. 19, 1912, but were told no record was
found for him. We have an obit, but need his death record to find out
who his parents were. Any suggestions? Would the mortuary have that
information? My cousin has the copy of the obit, but Samuel died in or near Blackwell. I believe he was buried in the private cemetery on the Disney Farm. We
have found since we first requested the death record that Samuel had used
the name Johnston when he married and on the 1850 census when he was 14
years old.

None of the Funeral homes or the cemetery have any record of a Samuel Johnson/Johnston.
I don't show any record of Disney in this area for that time period. There is a James Disney listed in Grant County. Have you tried there? It's possible they would have a record of the Cemetery on the Disney Farm.
