<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 243937, member: 33&quot;]One of my great-great-grandmothers died in 1900 and her newspaper obituary didn&#039;t mention her actual name anywhere. Just called her Mrs. [Husband&#039;s name]. And it never mentioned the names of her parents, or anything. If I wouldn&#039;t have already known who she was it would have been impossible to tell! </p><p><br /></p><p>The obit was one of the useful types in that it gave some personal characteristics that were interesting. For example, her father had died when she was about 13, and it says that she worked on the farm, was strong, and could do as much work as any man! That helped me to visualize her a bit.</p><p><br /></p><p>That being said, I don&#039;t know how she might have inscribed a book to her husband.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
