I had been looking for my great-grandfather’s one sister for some time and finding people with unknown death dates or places in the 1950-1960 era can be a challenge.

Their relationship to the deceased is not stated, but armed with a date I was able to locate other records. There may be clues in the names of the pallbearers.
