Looking for an obituary: Harry George French

[Erato]

It must be the right Harry.  The article was published in Milwaukee where she was visiting her parents.  My own Harry and his wife were both from Wisconsin.

Wonderful article, JM!

Yes, ties in well with the 2012 obit for Patrick.

Cheers,  JM

I just loved, "They do the best they can, but their standards are not the same as ours."  I've spent some time around diplomatic wives.  Nothing has changed, I'm sorry to say.


Thanks for the photo, majm.  I'm almost 100% convinced that this is the right man.

There is a link on the right to "ask a librarian".  Maybe they can provide you with the obit.

Hello, may I ask why you are curious about an obituary for Harry?

"Hello, may I ask why you are curious about an obituary for Harry?"

Yes.  I am slowly tracking down the descendants of my gg-grandparents John Ennis and Mary McGee.  One of those descendants was Harry George French  -  a gg-grandson of John and Mary and a third cousin to me.
