Where Did He Die??
« on: Tuesday 11 April 06 19:00 BST (UK) »
I have details of the death of a Rev. Richard Siebotham, I was given them as they form part of the Iosco County Gazette , Michigan his death was on 11/28/1908. Is there any register that would be able to tell me where he died or what from?? I ask this as family legend states he was murdered in Korea.

Hope someone can help
Many regards

Susan,

You are a God send, many thanks for all the information and new leads for me....Could Richard have died abroad, but the death have been registered at the port which his body came back to...i.e. New York?  Or does this mean he actually died in Syracuse, New York?

Regards
