Re: Von Bruns Research

Hi List,

This is reply to old message...

Dear Cheryl,

Email St. Louis Special Collections Library

And ask them to look up address 4246 Natural Bridge Road in the 1905-1906 City Directory. Most of those old directorys have address sort as well as name sort.

Do you know the religion practised if any? Can help nail down.

Barbara,

Thanks for the heads up, but I've already gotten a copy of the obituary.
There's not much information either. It says who his wife was and that the
funeral took place at 4246 Natural Bridge Road on Tuesday, March 13 at 2 pm.
It also gave his actual death of March 11, 1906 at 6 am. That's it. No
place of burial or where they came from. I determined that from census
data.

Getting copies of obits from the St Louis Post is easy...if they have
transcribed the list of names for that year. So many of the years are
missing that I need, since that's where half my family settled.

Thanks for the idea, though.

Cheryl
