Hi the funeral home that was in business at the time is no longer in business. If I am spelling it right
 the name was  Scharff.

I sent off a request to the library in Humboldt for Chauncey's obit. Thanks to Sandra coming up with a DOD.I had previously been in touch with them on your behalf so if they can find his obit I can forward it on to you.


If you can PM your e mail I will forward it on to you.

Sandra, I think you found my late wife’s family tree on Ancestry which I still manage.  All the info on that tree was found by yours truly and none of it is copied from other trees.  I have Mary Ellen’s death certificate from Saskatchewan which lists her birth date, her birth in Kentucky and her parents names, none of which can be confirmed.  The first trace of Mary Ellen which can be found in the records is the 1885 North Dakota census.  You are free to try and find any trace of her before 1885, but I will bet you a moderate amount that you will fail.  I have tentatively added a sister for Mary Ellen recently through dna links but am not convinced of the relationship.

Thanks to Lilybell for obtaining Chauncey Garfield Whitmarsh obituary.  Sandra, please see if you can find any trace of daughter Fay (Mrs M.O. Lewis) who was living in Daytona Beach, Florida at the time of her father's death in 1971.

1950 BC death for Fay Harriette Lewis at age 7 gives her parents as Morris Orville Thomas Lewis (born Wales) and Dorris Fay Whitmarsh (born Humboldt, Sask.).  Might find it easier looking with more complete names.

Nice find Cosmac, Doris Fay LEWIS was living in Collingwood, Ontario at the time of her brother Clair's death in 1980.  Thanks to RunKitty for Orville & Clair WHITMARSH obits, will PM her to see if she can find Fay's.
