Harriet Ellen CASKEY nee ISLEY.
« on: Wednesday 29 May 19 10:52 BST (UK) »
Hi team

Is someone able to check newspapers to see if the Harriet CASKEY who died at Tonawonda, NY state on 20 October 1950 might be this same lady please.  Her husband was John Benjamin CASKEY and she had 3 daughterS.  She was last seen on the 1940 census in Buffalo.

Many thanks

Bitzar.

Thanks Sandra

I'd found John's death but I hadn't seen the obit.

I've also just realised that Harriet's sister Emma ISLEY is buried at Tonawanda so maybe it is her passing in 1950?!?!

Might be worth contacting the cemetery with the date you suspect if nothing else transpires on here.

Yes, that appears to be her.

There was a death notice  in the newspaper on 10/21/1950 giving her maiden name as "Isley".
