Hi,

I am seeking the obituary for Sidney J. Sleep, (b 1887 Callington, Cornwall) who emigrated to the USA.

Sidney J. Sleep died in Lead, South Dakota in August 1924.
He was married to Mary Ellen Sleep (1876-1965) and any information about her would also be appreciated. I have found their headstone at West Lead Cemetery, SD.

Thank you.

 Hello RJ137,

That is an amazing assortment of information, and very much appreciated. I
had an inkling that maybe Mrs Sleep might have been a widow, previously.

I am delighted to know that a sister of Sidney J. Sleep also lived in Lead, SD. That solves the mystery very nicely. Thank you, very much.
