Fred Goodsmith, died October 8, 1944, in Georgia
« on: Monday 05 December 22 16:54 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
Fred J Goodsmith was born October 9, 1884, in Cleveland, Ohio, and is said to have died October 8, 1944, in Georgia. Did he get a death notice? Does it say where he was buried?

Probably not with his ex wife Gertrude Egert, but is he buried in Hillcrest Cemetery, Bedford Hts, Ohio, with his 2nd wife Dorothy who died "suddenly in Florida" in December 1952? I have her death notice from the Cleveland Press of December 17, 1952.

Thank you.

Dorothy Goldsmith - slightly different one to the one you quoted above.

Thank you. Yes, that is her - her maiden name was Jacobs.

Find a Grave has a picture of his headstone in the same cemetery as Dorothy.  https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/233411068/fredrick-henry-goodsmith

Looks like he's F.H. Goodsmith rather than Goldsmith on the Georgia death index.  It also says his place of death was Ohio.  Maybe it got mistranscribed, because he was going to be buried in Ohio?

Thank you. His name was Goodsmith, not Goldsmith. Can I change the title of the post? 
I was going through articles on my site to make them more accessible, and I saw the one on the Goodsmiths, and posted the question quickly.

When I saw Sandra's post that said Dorothy was buried in Cleveland although her family was all in Dayton, I realized the next step was to find out why. The most logical reason was that Fred had been buried there. Thank you for finding it.

Thank you, I wonder why Fred's death notice didn't show up at the Cleveland library site. Dorothy's did.  I just tried by looking for the other names in the notice, but still no results.
