Obituary Harriet E Pratt (Thornet)
« on: Friday 06 May 22 15:49 BST (UK) »
Hi all
        I don't have a subscription to read the newspapers, so I was wandering if someone could read the obituary of Harriet E Pratt (Thornet) as I need her date of death.  She was living in Wilmington, Delaware. I found her living on the 1950 census so it would be after that date.
                 Thanks. Carol
